Five years ago (July 15, 2019) we flew to Africa and almost to the day today, July 10th we’ll be heading back again.
This time our Daughter Kristina (46) and Granddaughter Lucy (16) will be joining us for the first month of a mixed bag of adventures planned for Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
We’ll have a Toyota HiLux 4×4 double cab fully equipped bush Camper (plus an extra tent for me G) for three weeks of driving, lodging and camping through Zambia and Zimbabwe.
We’ll pickup and drop off our truck in Kasane, Botswana where we’ll also experience some great adventures on the Chobe River and Chobe National Park.
In between we’ll do some great wild unfenced camping in Kafue NP in Zambia and two incredible exclusive camp-site experiences in Mana Pools NP in Zimbabwe.
We’ll then pit stop for two nights in the town of Kariba on the shores of Lake Kariba where we’ll do some fishing for the elusive Tiger Fish.
We’ll follow that with one more Chobe River experience and then end it all with 3 nights of off the grid lounging and game driving at the amazing Umlani Bush Camp in the central Greater Krueger NP region. (Note: We stayed there in 2017).
On August 10th, the ladies will head home to Vancouver and Joyce and I will spend the next two weeks driving through Malawi visiting a couple of National Parks and then meeting up with our friends in Chitimba.
Our final two weeks will be spent kicking back at a couple of nice beach resorts in Mauritius before heading home in early September.
