On the 29th on December my friends and I (the Canadians an Jodi) decided to take a taxi for 20minutes to the Botswana fairy. There we crossed the Zambezi and took a very crowded bus for another 20 minutes into Kasane which is in Chobe Game Park in Botswana for three days. Botswana is great! I would have loved to spend more time there. The landscape is more flat and open and the people were really nice and didn't stare at us Mazungus as much as in Zambia.
Chobe National Park was awesome, we rented a car for two days and did our own driving safari. Chobe is know for the amount of elephants in the park. They say it has actually become a problem of overpopulation, but it was great for me! They were everywhere, in the distance and almost touching our truck, they're so beautiful and big! I wanted to kiss one but everytime we got so close to almost touch they started flapping their ears! We also saw giraffes, wild dogs which are very rare, lots of hippos, baboons, crocodiles, birds, water buffalo, impala, kudu, a jackel chasing a baby impala and more. Sadly no lions which were around and others saw but not us...next time. Saving that one I guess for when Alex comes.
Rachael! just found your blog. I ran into your mommy at BCC...anyway, just wanted to tell you that I LOVE that 'so much depends on a red wheelbarrow (glazed with water?)' poem. : ) I got very excited when I saw the title of your blog!
