We left Gabs and made our way to Khama II Rhino Sanctuary. We were lucky the gate was open when we arrived after dark, even luckier the camp store was open and selling beer!
Our game drive on Sunday morning was fantastic with too many animals to list so we have started a new section on the blog just to show you pictures. Due to either our neophytic reconnaissance skills or an error in the naming of the Khama II Rhino Sanctuary, we saw no rhino! There is something special about driving at 8 mph in a car that is averaging 4 mpg and not spotting the prized animal.
Leaving the reserve and continuing north the plan was one night in Maun at a backpackers (American translation: hostel) and then onward and upward into the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. It’s important to remember that though we left 12 days behind schedule, we still had not finished all the preparation necessary for a trip of this scope. With this in mind, we headed out in Maun to buy a spare tire, a spare key, spare food and spare booze. We managed to accomplish three of these before heading into a vast wilderness that had no cellphone reception.
