Left Shametu Lodge at 9.30 and headed along the B8 towards Rundu our next stop , about 230 K’s. Decided to go off road along a really good sand road that tracks the Kavango River and the Angola border on the opposite bank.Lots of small villages and of course schools along the way. It’s so interesting how the Rural Namibians live. Cattle, goats and chickens but no sign of agriculture or independent cultivation. Mainly thatched rondavels and what look like stock pens and shelters.
Came off the sand roads and back onto the B8. Went into Rundu town to see where the shopping is. Found the “Mall”. Apparently Rundu is a fast developing town. Filled up with diesel, a mere £150.00. SA is the most expensive then Namibia and then Botswan a lot cheaper. Thanks Mr Trump. Checked into Hakusembe Lodge Campsite, another Gondwana Collection venue. Again nice Lodge and camp with “en suite”
Sat around pool rest of afternoon. Noodles and sauce, then cheese and bics in camp. Kavango river right in front of us. Irene a bit jittery, thinks a hippo or crocs might be about. No fence.
