Senyati Safari Camp

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.

I’ve just returned from the most amazing two weeks in neighbouring Botswana, which included a day spent across the border at the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. There are thousands of images to go through and lots of stories to tell, and I’ve just made a quick selection here. There’s still two more trips to the bush in the rest of this month; please bear with me if I am a bit slow in responding to your kind comments!
