Beautiful Botswana

After a week of volunteering and spending our third wedding anniversary sitting in our room eating instant noodles we thought we would treat ourselves to an overnight trip to Botswana to check out the Chobe River. Getting to Botswana required about an hours drive to the border of Zambia...

We saw some monkeys!

We saw monkeys! While on our way to one of the local malls Tessa and I spotted a group of monkeys up in a tree in someone's yard! One ran across the road to join up with his buddies! It was really cool. The reaction that we both had was pretty dramatic, and apparently fairly funny because the...

First few days

Gaborone. It's colder than I thought it would be. I am sitting in my dorm room right now going over the last few days in my head and all I can do it smile. It has been a very exciting few days. Upon arrival I was left to find my way from the airport to the University. I was dreading this...

Another week another country... Botswana. Botswana is bloody expensive and the most modern place we've been yet. On the upside it has the Okavango Delta which should just be renamed Heaven. Its probably the prettiest place I've ever been. We just returned from a 2 night Wilderness canoe...

Nothing To Do In Kubu

After two days of pure amazement at Mashatu it was only right we spent a few days doing nothing but reflecting on what we had just experienced, and relaxing in every sense of the word. And where better to do that than at Kubu Island in the middle of the Sowa Pans. Having stocked up on...

The Wild Side Of Botswana

As a backpacker it is almost impossible to see the true Botswana without being part of an overland tour or having your own 4x4 vehicle. I was lucky enough to have a week in Botswana with Mum and Dad, who had hired a fully kited out truck to get a feel for what they were getting themselves into...

Botswana: Wildlife, Wildlife!
