In reply to Rudy @ Backpack & Snorkel. Rudy, I'm glad you enjoyed the Okavango Delta as much as we did.

As a young kid, I saw a documentary on TV about the coming and receding water in the Okavango Delta and decided that one day I will go there too. We finally decided to come to southern Africa and I made a point to go to Botswana. We only stayed there for a few days, but spent the nights in a tent and during the day we toured the delta and, what can I say, it was fantastic. It somewhat blows my mind that our hours long boat tour was really on a flooded desert. There are not really that many islands and yet you see tons of elephants, giraffes etc. wading in the water all day long. I wonder what they do at night?
I am so glad we did it and we had an experience of a lifetime.

Wow! Everytime I read an article about a country I am unfamiliar with, I always immediately want to go. It sounds like Botswana is an incredible country to visit. Thanks for sharing your itinerary.

In reply to Nikki. Great Nikki, We definitely want to do this again, but we'll have to find a cheaper way to go next time.

What an adventure doing a self drive! This post makes me nostalgic for Africa, even though I have never visited Botswana. I would love to do the Chobe and am glad to hear you enjoyed it depsite the mixed reviews! I’m hoping to take a more extensive trip across Southern and Eastern Africa in the not too distant future so will certainly PIN this for future reference!

Stephanie, It was wonderful. There are many ways to do a safari, but we like doing things on our own.

In reply to Sally from Passport & Plates. Sally, I'm sure there is a way to do it on your own and not overplan, but it was a little intimidating at first.
