Yesterday was our last game drive. We only had a few hours
because others in our Land Cruiser were scheduled for an early departure from
the hotel. We saw prints where a leopard had dragged an impala across the road
(alas, no Mumps to jump off and track it for us and no Liam to drive
cross-country until we found it), another lone sable antelope and a business of
mongoose coming out of the termite mound where they spent the night. (I looked
them up: a pride of lions, a dazzle of zebra, a sounder of warthogs, a tower of
(standing) giraffe, a jenny of (moving) giraffe and a business of mongoose!)
We said a sad goodbye to room 408 at the Chobe Game Lodge
and headed to the Kasane, Botswana, International Airport. We transferred
through JNB from international arrivals to domestic departures and arrived at
the Table Bay hotel. Today the weather is rainy, windy and cold (winter rains
in Cape Town, summer rains in Johannesburg) so we expect to just hang around
the Victoria and Albert Waterfront shops, mall and restaurant. Tomorrow we pick
up John!
A couple of notes from the (limited) comments you dear
readers have left on the blog:
Jack and Molly: Thank you for your constant comments and
yes, a “giraffe in hand is worth two leopard in the bush.”
JJ and Lewis: More giraffe photos for you.
Jackie: More baby elephants
Lewis: Another lovey-dovey hotel picture for you
