Chobe National Park was established in 1968 and covers approximately 11,700 sq km, encompassing floodplains, swamps and woodland. The Chobe River forms the park's northern boundary, which includes four distinct geographical areas: the Chobe Riverfront, the Ngwezumba pans, Savuté and Linyanti.

The Chobe River rises in the northern Angolan highlands, travelling a vast diatance before reaching Botswana at Ngoma. Like the Okavango and Zambezi rivers, the Chobe's course is affected by fault lines that are extensions of the Great Rift Valley.

Over 460 bird species have been recorded in the park, making it one of Africa's premier venues for bird safaris.

This is a truly spectacular reserve and you will be hard pressed to find a park with more elephants than the Chobe. Every game drive is an adventure!

Enchanting Etosha is a drawcard worldwide. With flat, open veld, a massive salt pan and life saving water holes, this park is a haven for wildlife. It's area cover some 22935 km², making it one of the largest parks in Africa. With 3 camps within the park, there are options to see each section in one trip. The Oshindongo name, Etotha, means where no plants grow but it was changed to Etosha when early European traders couldn't pronounce the name. Namibia is such a diverse country, it's an absolute joy to visit, and it takes really good planning to get the most out of every trip

Some iconic parks will be featured in the next few weeks. The first being South Luangwa, Zambia's signature park. The luangwa river is the life blood of the park. It is a major tributary of the Zambezi, starting its life in the Mafinga hills bordering Malawi and runs 770km before joining the Zambezi at the border of Mozambique.

Botany originated as prehistoric herbalism to identify and later cultivate plants that were edible, poisonous, and medicinal, making it one of the first endeavours of human investigation.

The term "botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word botanē meaning "pasture", "herbs" "grass", or "fodder".

Approximately 369,000 are flowering plants

Around 40% of plant species may become extinct due to human actions such as habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, unsustainable logging, land clearing and overharvesting of medicinal or ornamental plants. Climate change is starting to impact plants and is likely to cause many species to become extinct by 2100.

I'm trying to imagine a world without plants

With the departure date looming, we enjoy the final few days at Karoo Bush Camp in the company of birds, adoptive grandbabies (young campers who gave us such pleasure) and the usual cycle and drive top-up before hitting the reality button.
It's been such a blast camping here again. Its an idyllic, one-of-a-kind oasis. Thank you Carol and Mike for making us feel so welcome, and for the friendship that has developed

Every morning and evening, we have been treated to aerial shows that captivate us. The goggas start swarming around 9am each morning and as we sit in the open, under shady acasia trees in camp, the pearl breasted swallows entertain us with their remarkable aerial maneuvers, snatching bugs out of the air with exceptional precision, dodging us as we sit quietly, totally mesmerized. Likewise, in the early evenings, hordes of bats come out to feed, which is equally spellbinding. Because they rely on healthy insect populations and habitats, bats signal changes in biodiversity, making them key indicator species. Their presence indicates a very healthy ecosystem here in Van Wyksdorp

A well-guarded secret carries weight not because of what it is, but because of who is allowed to know it. To be let in is to be seen as worthy—reliable enough to carry something that cannot be dropped, loyal enough not to pass it along. The secret changes shape the instant it reaches you. It becomes a responsibility, not just information.

As the year comes to a close, we'd like to say 'thank you' for following along, cheering us on, sharing our stories, and being part of our adventures—near and far. Every comment, message, and moment of support has meant more to us than we can say.

Here’s to a new year full of curiosity, courage, and unforgettable moments.

With only a short time left at Karoo Bush Camp, we are quickly ticking off our to-do list, one pass was on the bucket list and it was extremely satisfying to mark it off.
The Bosluiskloof pass connected Lainsburg to Prince Albert and is reputed to be THE most beautiful gravel road pass in the Western Cape. I concur.
The pass was given its name due to the fossilized ticks found in the rocks while building the pass. Build by Adam de Smidt, Thomas Baines brother-in-law, they sure keep road building in the family, back in 1862.
The pass has 60 bends, turns and curves in its short 3kms amd amazingly keeps a gradient of 1.13 before entering the poort but there are some unguarded dropoffs near the top, which makes viewing the kloof below a little challenging for the driver.
Once the Gamka dam was built, the road became a dead-end. Out and back is an added bonus to the drive. All I can say is wow, wow, wow!
