Botswana

Our first stop on our tour required three
planes and about 36 hours to reach (Tokyo - Singapore - Johannesburg, S.
Africa - Maun, Botswana). Our guide picked us up at the airport and
immediately whisked us on our way to our first campsite and game drive. No
rest (nor showers) for the weary travelers. During the next ten days
we visited three major game reserves/national parks, camping in 5
different campsites. Our campsites were rugged, but did come with
bush shower, chemical toilet, and three lovely people to set up camp,
prepare meals, heat water for washing...anything we required - definitely
camping in style. Game drives in Botswana are wonderful, and low on
the tourist radar, so it felt like we had the parks/reserves all to
ourselves! It was here where we watched two cheetah stalk and kill a baby
warthog (see Moremi Game Reserve for the play by play). Hope you
enjoy the pictures.
