No driving today, total so far about 900 k’s. About 300 k’s to go to Chobe National Park in Northern Botswana.
A bit of cloud cover today so just a little cooler. Did some clothes washing before heading for the pool. Booked our guided trip at 16.30 to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and the Nata Bird Sanctuary. Sat around the pool most of the day watching, listening and photographing all the birds around the gardens. Left the lodge at16.30 for our 3 hour trip to the pans. Good rains last year so lots of water , 3 years ago when we were here there was none that we could access. Guide took us to areas around the pan that we were not allowed to go to last time on our own. Lots of lesser and greater Flamingos, great white Pelicans (from afar), Korhaan, lbj’s, Ostrich, Blue Wildebeest and Black Back Jackel etc. Returned about 19.15 and went straight to restaurant for dins.Spicy chicken livers to share and Both had chicken schnitzel for mains. Customary Pinotage. Great no cooking for us, luxury!!
