An African Safari Like No Other
Some years ago, my friend Peter showed me pictures of his family camping in a tent in the wilds of Kenya next to hippo pools. I thought he must be mad. Well, for 10 days I joined him in his insanity by renting a 4X4 and driving unbelievably dreadful sand roads deep into the African bush, sleeping in a canvas tent (albeit not on the ground), dozing to the sounds of hippos grunting, lions bellowing, and hyenas barking, and searching daily for the wild beasts which freely roam northern Botswana. Of all the adventures I've had, none compares to this African safari like no other. We ventured from Gaborone to Kasane where we picked up our 4X4... ...from Kasane to the Chobe National Park Riverfront... ...from the Riverfront to the bone-dry parched savannah of Mwandi View where we watched hippos and elephants quench their thirst at the waterhole...
