Well my goodness - it has been a bit of a nightmare trying to update this blog for the last 2 days!! Only to find out that the credit had run out due to Martin downloading his emails from Outlook Express. Nevermind I finally think that it is all sorted and I can update you all about our marvellous adventures...

Kubu Island is in the middle of the pans and quite spectacular - everywhere you look you see the salt pans. The island is made up of kopje's and loads of baobabs which is pretty awesome. We spent the night and got up early to see the sunrise over the expansive pans which was an amazing sight.

After breakfast and packing up we drove across the vast pans and through mopane woods to our next stop which was in the Nxai Pan regional. We stayed at Baines Baobab Camp which was situated on another island and surrounded by pans although not to the extent of Kubu.

Clint was going to sleep out under a net until we saw some huge lion tracks right across the campsite which were from the morning. Needless to say he chose to put up his tiny tent instead! He arranged our meal out on the pan that night which was pretty magic including a fire. We had a drive over to some of the other islands to see the sunset and came back to a beautiful dinner.

The following day we went for a game drive to Nxai Pan which was very cool - it is a stunning area with alot of diffirent habitats - not so many animals around, but we had a great time. We had lunch in the Nxai Pan campsite and spent about 2 hours watching the birds around the campsite which for me was brilliant - so many different varieties in such a small space. We then went for another drive in the afternoon and then made our way back to our campsite. Another fab dinner was had and we sat and listened to all the night sounds - loads of jackals about.

We then made our way back to Maun and then I had to do the supply shopping whilst Martin and Clint went and arranged the gun licence for Martin as we were going guinea fowl shooting the following day. We had a fabulous dinner back with Clint & Pieter before turning in for the night. It was lovely to see Polly, Lucky and Kelly again (their most 'royal' beautiful dogs).
