Our campsite Kori 3 was stunning with views out over the valley and for 2 nights out of the 3 we had a big black maned Kalahari lion serenade us - magic! We even managed to spot him one day even though he was hiding out in a bush which made us think that he had a kill there - very protective of the spot and didn't move for 48 hours or so. We did manage to get some photos, but they are a little far away.

We had 3 wonderful nights at Deception Valley in the Kalahari which was awesome, the harshness of the area makes you wonder how any wildlife can survive out there, but to our amazement we saw meerkats, oryx, springbok, lion, bat eared foxes (one of my favourites) and a whole lot more.

Okay after about 2 hours or more this is really driving me insane!! Just to let you all know that we are going away again tomorrow out to the delta for 6 nights with a little bit of luxury this time. We are going to Little Kwara for 3 nights and Lebala Camp for three nights, so won't be able to use internet or blog until we get back.

We have just had a wonderful three plus weeks with Clint on our safari through Botswana, what an amazing country!

I am having great difficulty getting anything on the blog which is very annoying!!!

Hi everyone, well it is 11.30am and we are on our way into the second part of our trip. For the next week we will be in Deception Valley, Nxai Pan and Kubu Island - all very exciting.

I won't be able to do email for the next week, but will be back into Maun on 20 May and will update the blog then.

Hope all is well with you all loads of love and kisses to you all

Well hi to you all. I am sitting at the Africa Sky Guesthouse in Jo'burg having breakfast before going to the airport to meet Martin - I can't wait to see him, I missed him heaps whilst in Oz and NZ.

I will try and attach a few photos from the end of the first part of our trip now.

It is seems to be taking along time so maybe I won't be able to. Anyway I had a lovely trip to Australia and New Zealand, thanks to my most beautiful family in both countries for making my stay so wonderful. I only wish that I could visit you all more often.

Well I have just had a phone call from Martin who has landed in Jo'burg so will quickly finish my breakfast so that I can get to the airport to see him.

Love to you all xxx
