What’s Hot. What’s Not
Blog: Africa Attraction - 11 October 2009
If this posting was really about what was hot, then I’d be writing about the three of us, sat in the middle of Zambia, in our pants, sweating a lot. But no one wants that. No, in this instance what I mean by ‘hot’, is useful. And by ‘useful’, I mean things that have benefitted our journey thus far. I’m sure any seasoned Africa traveller – if there is such a thing – will snort derisively at me stating the obvious, but I’d certainly like to have known some of the below before setting off on my jaunt, so I’m assuming similarly clueless Africa virgins would as well.

Wildlife Wednesday; Chobe National Park Botswana
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 26 August 2009
If there is one place in the world where you are guaranteed to see elephants it would be Chobe National Park. Home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. I have read different sources claiming anywhere from 50,000 to 120,000 elephants inhabit Chobe National Park. Whatever the actual population may be, you will see them everywhere.

Botswana Self Drive Holiday. Last Day.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 19 July 2009
Wednesday 24th June, we left South Gate Camp and headed back to Maun. We had not seen as much game as we had expected to, but this was due to the unseasonable rain. I was pleased to have got out onto the Delta both by Moroko and Moter boat. It had also been great just to experience the wilderness in a tent! I was also very impressed that we had not got stuck or broken down once! Not even a flat tyre! The 4x4 driving course in Wales had really paid off.

Botswana Self Drive Holiday.Day Six.North Bridge (Khwai) Campsite to Xakanaxa Campsite.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 9 July 2009
As I said we were booked for 2 nights at North Gate (Khwai) Campsite. But we found that this was our least favourite campsite, It was dirty, I think this was due to the lack of a designated ‘campfire’ space, so fires had been lit all over the pitches, resulting in black sand. This campsite is also very close to the Khwai Village, we hardly had any sleep due to the village dogs barking all night long and very loud singing, but it was Sunday, maybe it was a long church service?

Botswana Self Drive Holiday. Day Four. Third Bridge to Xakanaxa.
Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 8 July 2009
It was an early start today, to get packed up and to the Mboma Boat Station for the Mokoro trip at 10.00. Once again the drive was easy, it did not take 1 hour. The road did have some very deep patches of sand, but the car & driver coped well with it and we didn’t get stuck. There was very little wildlife to see, just a few Giraffe and Warthogs.The Mboma Boat Station has both Mokoros and moter powered boats.

The stay at Thamalakane Safari Lodge included breakfast, this was served in the open dining area that overlooked the river. The was a good selection of cereals, juices & yoghurt's, and you could chose the 'English' option. (fired egg, bacon, toast etc). After breakfast, we had a list of things to do! Moremi Game Reserve does not have any shops or petrol stations, so you have to take all your supplies with you, we needed to go into Maun and get our supplies for the next six days.
