Greetings From Botswana

Hello, everyone.

We have just spent three days just outside Chobe National Park, which is spectacular. (We are in a small town named Kasane and staying in a Lodge on the Chobe River.) We've seen just about all the big animals one can see in Africa, including the Big 5. We checked off Lion and Leopard in the past three days in our game drives in the park. There are no fences between the park and the town, so one is taking their life into their own hands if they walk the streets at night. (We haven't!) :-)

Zach and Bill went fishing yesterday on the Chobe River. Zach caught two Tiger Fish (the most famous fresh water game fish in Southern Africa) They are known for their fighting. Bill caught nothing, but still managed to drink a few beers! :-)

Prior to Chobe, we were in Zambia, viewing Victoria Falls. WOW!!!! They are 1.7 kilometers (a little over a mile) wide and simply amazing. Bill thought they made Niagra Falls look like a shower.

We are now heading into the true wilderness part of our trip. We are taking a small plane today to Jao Camp, which is located deep in the Okavango Delta. There is a 16-person max restriction there, so it should be very intimate. The nearest camp is about 20 miles away. So far, everyone has kept healthy. The food is very good and Brady even tried Warthog last night! (In addition to his pasta). Well, by for now. We'll have another blog after Jao.
