Following our amazing Gospel on Safari experience, colleague and friend Hannes Rossouw and I extended our stay in Botswana a little by heading further north to explore the Chobe National Park and surrounds, basing ourselves at Senyati Safari Camp. Senyati is located in the Lesoma Valley, just 15km from Kasane, gateway into Chobe, and offers accommodation, camping, a restaurant and a fabulous sunken hide from which you can get some terrific images of the animals and birds that come to drink at the camp’s waterhole day and night.

In upcoming posts I’ll share some more pictures taken on a drive through Chobe National Park, a boat ride on the Chobe River, and at Victoria Falls in neighbouring Zimbabwe.

Baie dankie, Aletta! Ja, hierdie twee weke in Botswana was n geskenk uit die hemel uit in soveel maniere.
Dis wonderlik 😊
An absolutely glorious experience!
Having to wait for a security guard to try and persuade a herd of elephant to vacate the area around our tent so that we could tun in for the night was, well, “an absolutely glorious experience” for sure, Anne! I really loved how “wild” Botswana still is!
Awesome photos. I’m looking forward to the rest of your photos and trip.
Baie dankie, Ineke!
