Leopard in Savuti.

We set up camp had lunch and then headed out for our afternoon game drive. Loads and loads of ellies here. We watched a breeding herd for quite some time, there was a real wee one which was playing around in a hole, keep falling in and rolling around in the dust - very cute.

We saw buffalo, puku, red lechwe, impala, warthog, kudu, giraffe, hippo, crocs and loads of things - also heaps of birds! Had a fabulous drive and got back to the river for an amazing sunset. All the sunrises and sets are magical over here - so much colour and the sky is huge.

Got back and the monkey's had been into the rubbish - little pests that they are. Had a great dinner and a male buffalo starting making his way towards our camp which was pretty cool, although there is alot of bush around and you have to be real careful that you don't spook them.

Had a good sleep and went for an early morning drive to see what was around. Saw heaps of lion tracks, but once again we didn't spot them. Got back to camp and packed up then it was off to the Kasane airport to drop off Clint. We were going to drive back, but call in at the Nata Sanctuary on the way.

Dropped off Clint, filled up with diesel, got some cold drinks and headed out. The first 100-150km is not too bad, but then the road is terrible for the remaining 200-150km to Nata. What a horrible drive! We finally arrived and were trying to find the Nata Lodge, it was 10km out of Nata on the Francistown road. Unfortunately it is not finished and therefore we decided to stay in the Nata Sanctuary instead.

We drove out to the pans to see flamingos and the water birds - what a sight! Had lunch and then tried to find the various campsites around the place. Unfortunately it is not well sign posted and we couldn't find any, but the girl on the gate said you can camp anywhere. So we drove around until we found a good hard site, didn't want to loose the trailer and car on the pans overnight.
