We came back from a 2 weeks Safari trip in the North of the Botswana, from the Okavango delta to the Victoria falls (Zambia). This trip was organized thanks to Vie Sauvage (a french operator). They took in charge the planes tickets, the transition days, ... On place Bush Ways Safaris drove the Safari.
The plan was:
During this stay we didn't meet a lot of people, but the few we met were very nice. Our group was composed of 3 guides, a safari guide, a cooker (famous for camp cooking) and a french translator (no very fluent but he was very cool) , plus a couple of dutch, a couple of german, an american man and a woman from New-zealand. Between these people we were the typical frenchies who don't speak very well english ;-)
During the safari we spent some nights under tent whose fives consecutive nights inside wild parc. It's an experience to live, with this sleeping solution you heard chacals scream, elephant breaking trees and sometimes you wake up with lions footprints inside the camp ... grrrrrrr => So it's totally forbidden to leave the tent during the night. We used empty bottle in case of emergency ;-)
Weather was constant. It was the winter so we never see the rain and no cloud too. Temperature goes to 25°C for the higest level and get down to 5°C during the night. Sun raised at 6h30 (we waked up at 6h00) and goes down at 18h30 (we gone to sleep around 21h00).
The only drawback I noticed during this trip was the waiting time to take connections at the begining and the end of the trip but I think it was inevitable. And beleive me you just need to see an animal to forget these wasting times.
So as pictures are better than long sentences, I will let these set of pictures talk for us.
