Botswana Wildlife Safari

This was an extraordinary trip. During our time in the parks we saw at least 3-7 lions a day, and a leopard every day! The last day after driving for 7 hours with little activity, we saw within the last two hours, lions a leopard and 4 cheetahs resting on the road-it was unbelievable. The other animals were great as well-lots and lots of elephants and many animals had young ones- elephants, zebra's and hyena cubs. We were able to get remarkabley close-10-15 ft. so got great pictures with my Apple 15 pro. The lodges were lovely and a nice break from the camp. The camping was not glamping-cots weren't particularly comfortable, especially if you are tall and on the larger side. While the toilet facilities were basic they provided hot water for the showers in the afternoon and filled wash basins in front of the tent in the morning with hot water to wash with. The food was delicious-fresh baked breads and deserts, homemade soups to begin every meal and much to my surprise lots of good vegetables. Bring warm clothes including hats and gloves and a windbreaker for the morning game drive-it's an open truck so gets very cold when the wind blows through. Wool blankets are provided to cover your legs. Be prepared for long and very bumpy, dusty drives. Most of the roads/tracks are sand. This is not a trip for someone with a bad back. Make sure you have a waterbottle with a spout so you can drink while the truck is moving and something to cover your mouth and nose with to keep out the dust. Be prepared to go to the bathroom in the bush. The houseboat is so relaxing and great bird watching on the boat trips. Finally, our guide Bibi was wonderful and a phenomenal tracker-always slowing down to look for animal tracks and then racing off to find the animal for us.
