Another early 6am start and off on a game drive. It was very chilly on the truck and we were pleased to have our bush babies. I was also glad to have my hat back, which was delivered to me on the plane. You have to be careful to keep phones and stuff in the […]

We stopped near the camp’s water pump and could see the solar panels that power it on the roof of the raft.  The whole camp runs on solar power.  Karl pointed out the channels that are elephant paths down […]

We were woken at 6am for an early light breakfast at 6.30 and then off on our walking safari. We collected our bush babies (hotties) and then it was a short walk down the decking to the boat ramp. The entire lodge is protected by an electric fence that keeps out elephants but other wildlife […]
