Kasane / Chobe Game Reserve

A couple of weeks ago some folks from work, Ian and I headed up to Kasane, the nearest town to Botswana's Chobe National Game reserve. How's this for a multi-national group: our Australian project manager Katherine, Afrikaans drilling supervisor Michael, French geologist Matthieu, me - South African (kind of), Ian - Zimbabwean and Finnish au pair Linda!



Was absolutely brilliant. A couple of pics:



This herd of elephant held us up for half an hour as they moved across the road in front of us. So much game in Chobe!


Sleepy lionesses who weren't too impressed at having their photo taken. Then again, neither were we at that time of the morning, which is why this is what we did when we got back from that game drive:


Kat, Matthieu and I relaxing in the garden looking out over the Chobe River. Like that picture!

Maybe the best picture is the one of the humans! I can only imagine what it's like to see elephants and lionesses up close in the wild.
