There’s nothing more awkward than a giraffe trying to drink water. Spread-legged and thirsty, this young one hurries to take a drink while his partner stands guard. And they definitely were smart to take turns, while the other watches for predators, because not long after they took off, the hyenas came around for some water too. The wildlife in Botswana was amazing. I just can’t wait to go back! Where was your favorite safari? 
Driving to Seronga in the very colorful country of Botswana was wild, just like Africa…wild! First, we didn’t realize how isolated it was. We didn’t know that the one and only gas station would close down within minutes of our arrival.

I am a budget traveler, but I have to tell you, Botswana wasn’t a budget experience. As we were preparing to plan for our trip there, there was just too much to see. I came across a great website, Drive Botswana, and gave them a call. The conversation went something like this: Me: I would like a quote on a self-drive tour that possibly could include the entire country of Botswana,seeing not only the Big 5 animals, but all of them. Oh, and I would like to keep this as inexpensive as possible. Andy: No problem, when would you [...] Continue reading Traveling in Botswana – Do it! |
