We got a call that the only road into Maun had been washed away at Sitatunga. We would either have to backtrack or go via Gaborone. I had been fishing a lot in the area and knew of a few other bridges of the beaten track. This is a pic of a bridge I call Waga Waga. The water was already flowing over the top. We drove 20km through the bush to the next bridge at Samedupi and then on through to Maun. Saved us a1000 km detour.

Elke'e Trip to Botswana- The Chobe Reserve

The Chobe was amazing - something like you see on Nat Geo TV. As far as you could see there were just herds of animals and they were not fussed about the cars viewing them either.  A definite must for anyone travelling up there.
