The Caprivi Strip

After the dryness and desolation of the Namib Desert, the wetness of the green Caprivi Strip - now renamed Zambizi - was most welcome!

First night was spent at Roy's Rest Camp.  A quaint little place outside of Grootfontein.

Next stop was Ngepi.  A lodge with both camping and fixed accommodation.  The reed Tree Houses are all situated along the bank of the river where hippo's could be seen frolicking in the water, while brave locals went about their business on their mokoro's. They do, however, seem to have a strange facination with Toilets ...as various types were scattered around the gardens!

Camp Kwando our 3rd stop along the Caprivi, proved to be favourable for us Campers as the water pump to the chalets had broken that morning!  We had a campsite all to ourselves with private ablutions, power and WATER!

We started the next day by preparing Jeremy's car for his 'Milestone Birthday' before we made our way to Nkasa Lupala for the night.

The last night along the Caprivi was spent at Caprivi Houseboat Safari Lodge, before we made our way to Botswana.
