    6.45 rise because it’s light and bedtime earlier than usual 

    Lots of birds about the camp in the trees making a real din. After breakfast went out to the reserve and saw a few rhino together with zebra, wilderbeast, giraffes, vultures and more. . Back to reception to make phone call to our domain name provider, missed subscription deadline, couldn’t do online because in different country. Sorted. A couple minor problems with camper so phoned Bushlore. Sorted. iPad out of charge and didn’t have pad to usb cable. Went shopping to Spa in  Serowe for wine glasses,matches,fruit and other bits and pieces. Found shop for cable. Great. Sorted. Back for another trip around reserve and a beer. More rhino around the pan than this morning. Pasta and Kanankop Pinotage for dinner. 37 degs , sunny.

    Up at 6.30. Breakfast and cold shower. Wash up and tidied. Set off at 8.45 for Botswana border. Huge numbers of trucks. They take about 2 days in queue to cross the border. Cars are quicker but had to try and negotiate our way around them. No official to help. SA side no  problem. Botswana side totally rude officials. Took an hour to get through. Arrived Khama Rhino Sanctuary at 3.30. Hot 37 degs. Chilled ,showered and went off to site “restaurant “ to have dinner. Us and two others eating. Took forever but supped a bottle of red whilst trying to catch up with mails etc. No time for blog. WiFi worse than Coleford. No complaints. This is Africa!
