The sun rises and falls in a rhythm so much more present and tangible than we are used to, no curtains shield from a bright dawn and camp lighting is so feeble in banishing darker corners. And so it goes, our temporary reinvention to our less modernised selves sees us up at 5:30am in accordance […]
After last nights excitement we’re pumped for another day, the wet mess that was our adventure into Chobe is slowly sinking away into the sands of Moremi. We now have the environment and atmosphere that we were searching for all this time, it’s just not quite where we expected it to be. Beautiful environments we […]
It rains and it rains and it rains, our night spent in the tent has been punctuated by the relentless teeming of an out of season downpour. In a rare clearing we are up and full of vigour for the day ahead, eager to get away we are in the car, first stop the most […]
Today is the day, after the thrills and spills that made our short jaunt into Zimbabwe we are finally making it into Chobe National Park. We’re thoroughly tuned into the sun so for now we barely need an alarm, we’re up, packed and off before 7am, quite a miracle for me. It’s with no small […]
We’ve been staring at the mist rising up from the falls for two days now, the falls themselves humbly waiting their turn in the line of incredible sights this town has thrown our way. But the wait is no longer, one of the worlds great three falls alongside Iguazu which borders Argentina and Brazil and […]
As if rafting on the Zambezi wasn’t enough we just have to take one more close look at the mighty river, from above this time. Victoria Falls is somewhat of an adventure hub so it would be remiss to not partake in a little more of the fun on offer, wouldn’t it? Today it’s gorge […]
After taming the beasts at the border we make our long awaited arrival into Victoria Falls; long awaited by us, not the population of this bustling town I’m sad to say. Parking the car and dashing out into the world after a flash-in-the-pan storm we charge out of the hostel in a heady humidity full […]
It’s been talked about for so long, the famed mighty Zambezi river, the river itself but more pointedly rafting down it. A staggering volume of water is collected from the famous Victoria Falls and all that water comes pumping down the Zambezi, one of the wildest rafting rides in the world. And today we realise […]
It appears that all animals are not pressed from the same mould be they wild or not. Our slumber serenade from Elephants was all boisterous bluster, indeed the Elephants are known to be the destructionists of the wild here as a result of having little or no natural predators beyond us humans. This security creates […]
