I Need A Vacation; Why Not Take A Trip Around The World
Janes holiday travels
So I have now reached the end of my amazing travel experiences. I want to thank any of you who have followed me during this incredible time and also thank any of you who have joined me on various parts of my journey. I have created beautiful memories and I will be forever grateful for…
So on to our last port of call, Chobe Game Lodge. This was different to all our other camps in that it had around 40 rooms and was more like a hotel. It is the only permanent game lodge situated within the famous Chobe National Park, and is Botswana’s premier venue for guests looking for…
I said before that our transport was getting smaller so when a helicopter turned up to take us to the next camp, why was I surprised. The pilot was a Kiwi called Kane who was only 23 years old. I must be getting old! He was a lovely young man and we had a great…
Off to the Okavango Delta!! And our new camp Shinde. The Okavango Delta is the largest intact inland delta in the world, and is exceptionally rich in wildlife. Situated deep within the Kalahari Basin, the Delta is characterized by meandering deep water channels lined with papyrus reeds that open up into larger lagoons and islands;…
These are pictures taken in the Kalahari area and from the underground bunker. You can see the lioness yawning and the cubs playing with their mums. We were so privileged to be so close to them in their own environment. You could reach out and stroke them although it’s not recommended!!! I thought they deserved…
Another special place in the middle of the Kalahari desert. The northern boundary of the central kalahari supports similar species as the main CKGR reserve, however the concessions and reserves in these areas follow the wildlife viewing trend of the Okavango Delta more closely, in that after the summer rains, in the December to March…
From Kogatende airstrip to Lake Manyara airstrip! Just dirt tracks as runways. We were met at Lake Manyara by our first female guide Zuwaddy, to be taken to our new home, the Highlands. The Highlands camp is located at the highest elevation in the region on the slopes of the Olmoti Crater and has sensational…
After an early start to our game drive and an exciting viewing of the great migration, it was time for a bush breakfast with our guide, Nelson. Nelson studied wildlife at college and then taught himself german to better his career. He is highly motivated and has a son with his partner, whom he wants…
What an amazing experience, and one that Denise and I had wanted to see for many years. The months of July to October see over two million animals traverse these plains as part of the Great Wildebeest Migration in their never ending search for water and nutrient dense grasses. This is one of the Seven…
We’re getting used to these small aircraft that you can’t stand up in. It’s like hopping on a bus shuttle and you keep running in to the same people travelling between the camps!! And below you can see the airport check in!! What a beautiful camp Sayari is. And such an abundance of animals. It’s…
