Leisurely breakfast this morning at 7.30 in the restaurant. Butty’s up early these days, normally at 6.00 am !! Off to Kumaga this morning for two days.
Filled the tanks with petrol in Maun before our drive to Kumaga Camp on the Boteti river. A bit of fun at the ferry crossing over the Boteti river witch cost 180 rand for each car, a bit pricey but no other choice. Nice shady site under the trees but at 43 degrees no real comfort. Stayed in camp until 4.30 and then did an evening drive along the river. Lots of game around the river, elephant, jackal, giraffe, wildebeest, crocodile, vultures, buck of various types. Best game in one place to date. Great sunset over the river. Arrived back in camp just as it was getting dark for a welcome G&T. Chicken kebabs with homemade sauce and sweet corn for dinner. No hose for filling the water tanks so used 5 litre water containers to tip into the tanks. Worked OK. The containers also make good pee pots for the night, boys only of course.
No more wifi now until back in SA sometime on the 5/6th November. Should have mobile network for the next two days but after that all alone in the Central Kalahari. Bye for now.
