It is getting more difficult to publish blogs here because internet access is limited. After leaving Maun we drove east along the road to Gweta

There are always school children on the way in the villages. Classes are usually held outdoors, which only makes sense given the temperatures.

You will occasionally meet these fellows along the way. Sometimes you are lucky,
There were no potatoes in the supermarket.
By chance we were able to make contact with the potato transporter (he was also watching the elephants).

He was happy to give us potatoes and didn't even want any money for them. He was happy to receive a donation for his children.
In the evening we went to the Planet Baobab campsite.

The campsite is built around a group of giant baobab trees. Baobabs are natural wonders, they can live up to 1,500 years,
When there is water, they can store up to 130,000 liters of water, depending on their size. They can then survive for a year without new water. We had a good night's sleep in the shade of the baobabs.

The next morning we continued towards Kasane, thus reaching the most north-easterly point of our journey. Kasane is located on the four-country border of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Our campsite Senyati Safari Camp is highly recommended if anyone comes here.
Not the decor itself but it has something.

This is the bath stove, you heat it up at the bottom and have warm water for showering. 😀
It was similar for us in the past.

Every campsite has a grill, it works.
But the best thing is that the campsite is in the bush and has a waterhole. First the elephants, then the impalas, then the buffalo come regularly to drink and splash around.

You are only a few meters away from the animals. There are signs everywhere in the camp saying not to shine flashlights on the animals. They don't like that. Basically, the animals have the right of way.
When an elephant like that comes along, you get a little scared.
But a great experience at Senyati Safari Camp,
which can only be reached with four-wheel drive vehicles.
Tomorrow we want to visit the Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side.
