Feb 23, 2008 - Chobe National Park - animals galore!

Despite much pleading with Ray today was yet another earlyish start as we had to get to Kasane in time for our river cruise in Chobe National Park. ... An hour down the road we stopped at a garage for hangover food – there were a few struggling this morning – strange that! Approaching Chobe we spotted some elephants on the side of the road.Despite much pleading with Ray today was yet another earlyish start as we had to get to Kasane in time for our river cruise in Chobe National Park. ...

Jan 3, 2008 - Back to Botswana Today

It was none to soon to get out of that musty room. A stop in Kasane, the gateway town to Chobe, allowed us to get something from a pharmacist for one of the German tourists on our trip. ... She seemed to have developed some nasty red, large blisters on her side.It was none to soon to get out of that musty room.

Nov 21, 2006 - Kasane, Botswana and I don't have malaria!

I travelled to Kasane, Botswana yesterday had a very uneventful border crossing except we had to wade, in our shoes, through a puddle of disinfectant to prevent the entry of foot and mouth disease. ... Arrived at the campsite in the afternoon and Todd and I did a remarkable job of setting up our tent all by ourselves! Unfortunately by about 7pm I wasn't feeling the best, went to lay down and then proceeded to throw up continually since then, about 22 times at last count! Poor Todd, having to share a tent with that! I came into town to see a witchdoctor today, he beheaded a chicken and waved it over me and I should be fine by tomorrow.I travelled to Kasane, Botswana yesterday had a very uneventful border crossing except we had to wade, in our shoes, through a puddle of disinfectant to prevent the entry of foot and mouth disease. ...

Today, Laura and I are writing from Kasane, Botswana, a small town just outside Chobe National Park. ... While exciting things keep happening--this morning, for example, we did a game drive on which we saw a leopard (a shy and difficult to find animal) just 25 feet or so from the truck--we are both quite ready to be done camping.Today, Laura and I are writing from Kasane, Botswana, a small town just outside Chobe National Park. ...
