Moremi Game Reserve

Some pictures from our stay in Moremi Game Reserve Botswana 23rd-25th March 2019

Camped at a wild camp near South Gate of Moremi Game Reserve. We head a lions roar in the morning. We camped here before we headed into the park towards 3rd Bridge.
After entering South Gate of Moremi Game Reserve, we drove only a few kilometres to find a group of Elephants at a water hole.
Crossing 1st Bridge on the way to Third Bridge. We got lost along with several other people on the way to first bridge.
Seeing Giraffes on the way to Third Bridge campsite.
Our first night at Third Bridge in Moremi Game Reserve. This was the first night at A$140 per night camping at Third Bridge campsite.
Camped for the second night at Third Bridge campsite. We had to shift campsite because the campsite we stayed in the night before was booked out. The second night campsite was much nicer.
Zebras around Third Bridge
We drove though a group of Giraffes heading to South Gate of Moremi Game Reserve

Hippos at a water hole heading to South Gate Moremi
Camped again at the Wild campsite outside of South Gate Moremi. We never got tired of tropical sunsets.
Camped at the wild camp outside South Gate Moremi, we awoke surrounded by Zebras and Giraffes

Back in Maun

Another very quick one – we’ve just spent a few days camped in and near Moremi National Park. We saw lots of wildlife including a wild dog!

Very exciting as they are rare and we haven’t seen one before. Now we’re heading to Francistown on the A3, which is hopefully a decent sealed road.

When we have some decent internet, probably when we get to South Africa, we’ll post photos. At the moment we’ve hooked into Botswana Post’s free internet access, 10 minutes at a time.

Botswana the Beautiful

We’re back in one of our favourite countries in the world – our favourite African country (so far!) – Botswana.

We wild-camped last night and now we’re in Maun (rhymes with town), having just organised to camp at 3rd Bridge in Moremi National Park, part of the Okavango Delta.  It’s costing us USD $100 per night for a campsite. Yes, you read that correctly. A hundred bucks. US. Per night.

We’ll be offline for a few days, see you next week!

Camped amongst the Elephant Dung. We heard elephants, but we didn’t see any.
