Sadly, our time on Mukwae (Mrs. Chief) has come to an end. Huge thanks to all the crew, Raymond (our guide), Vincent ( our chef), Lally (our host and manager of Mukwae), John and Vasco ( assistant guides and all round good fellows!)

The motley crew.
What an awesome experience. Would like to do this again, one day.
Reasonably quick process through Namibia & Botswana customs. Pleasant, uneventful drive from Kasane to Nata Lodge. Jenny finally got her donkey cart picture!
Had a lovely swim followed by a somewhat decadent external shower.
Supper under the stars ... Typical ... Last night and all the clouds seem to have gone. Ah, well ... Still a glorious holiday.

Just before Francistown, I couldn't wait any longer and went for a wee at a picnic lay bye. Jen and Ray laughing their heads off as my tissues blew down the road. A long suffering sigh from Luis accompanied by the statement "She's high maintenance"...
Four days ago when we came through this way, the rivers were flowing full strength. Now they are mere puddles and trickles. Amazing how quickly the torrents dissipated.
Jen has a fascination for cows, donkeys and goats and enthuses about them more than wildlife. I think she has more photos of them too.
Stopped at Kwanokeng Lodge on the Limpopo River overlooking South Africa for a lovely lunch. Have to maximize our stay in Botswana. Last 10kms full of potholes. Had a game of dodgems! Luis did well!
