Hi guys. My husband is doing some work in Makhubung. He is struggling to find accommodation with the closest so far being in Hotazel which is about 2 hours drive away. Does anybody know of a farm or...

Thanks so much Jovan Djokic

Awesome, thanks so much Pat n Wolf

Hi all
Please can somebody who has been to Elephant Sands recently advise me on the access road.
We normally take a 4x4 but this time round we are taking a minibus.
Previous visits, the road has...

Thanks all for your responses.
Just to advise that we booked into Big 5 Chobe Lodge for camping and have extended our trip a couple of days.
The Old House fully booked for he whole of August and...

Whew, not been on the site for ages.
Have not been able to travel since 2014 and so longing for the bush.
Planning a quick trip up to Elephant Sands in August and intention is to go up to Chobe...

Love my Canon 7D MII. For wildlife and sport I use my Sigma 150-500mm most of the time but am looking at a more versatile smaller lens for the times the biggy is just too big. Get great results with...

Hi all
I love both wildlife and sport photography. My kit comprises of:
Canon 7d MII
18 - 55 kit lens from my old 550D
75 - 300 Canon lens
150 - 500 Sigma lens
I am looking at incorporating the...

Non electrified sites at Bakgatla are good. Don't like the electrified ones as they are small and dusty

We've stayed in a few sites at Ihaha. Last year we stayed in No 1. Was lovely. Enjoy ;D

We were at Mabua 4 for 4 nights in July this year. Loved it. In camp we had jackal, leopard, brown hyena and leopard.

The Old House our absolute favourite

We just came back from Mabua and came through the Bray border post. On leaving Bray we followed the Vryburg signs but instead of turning off onto the road to Vryburg we continued straight along that...

Have made many a booking with the national parks and absolutely no issues with the credit card payment system. Always successful with NO fraud. Yes, we South Africans are paranoid.

Agree ;D

Hi all

Has anyone tried out Mwandi View yet?
For those who don't know it's a new camp (chalets and camping) outside Chobe close to Ngoma Border post.
Anyone whose been there, please let us know...

My preference would be in the park.
We love Ihaha and it's away from all the crowds/game trucks coming in from Kasane.
Nothing like a Chobe River sunset from Ihaha ;D

Well we have just returned from our trip to the Kalagadi and stopped at Molopo Lodge for the night. What a gem of a place !! Could not disagree more with previous posts that were conveying negative...

Oh my word! I am peeing myself laughing at my desk at your expense. Sorry >:D. Wonder what my clients think! ;D;D;D

I had a Canon 400d and bought a sigma lens. The speed setup between the two wasn't right though so I borrowed my sisters 550D and used my Sigma lens. Made the world of difference and I ended up...

I'm driving our Defender V8 around town at the moment as my 18 year old son is using my car. Love it!! ;D

Get the butcher to vacume pack your meat

Probably the stickiest border crossing we have ever had going from Namibia into Bots at Ngoma. The lady even wanted us to hand over curios that we had bought so that we would buy from her. I would...

Definitely The old House. Exellant accommodation and good food. One of our favourite stops when up in that area

We were at No 2 from 29 June to 2 July and there was water

We had to make use of the nursing facilities at Askham on Sunday 29 June. She met us at 7:30am. One of the teenage boys came down with tonsilitis on way up to Kalagadi - his mom thought it was a...

Absolutely love Ihaha.
Camps 1,2 and 6 are best in my opinion but all have lovely river views and there's nothing like a sunset on Chobe River from Ihaha.

Hi all
Planning a trip to Liuwa Plains in 2016 with a possibility of moving onto Kafue afterwards.
Please advise which camps you recommend in Liuwa.
In terms of Kafue, we have been there before to...

Just a bit of useless information but we got a golden lab puppy two years back whom we called Liuwa after Lady Liuwa. When people hear her name they are very interested as to where it came from

Hi Tooi
We are considering doing this trip in the winter of 2016.
Is is worth visiting Liuwa at that time of year?

Welcome bushoclock
Agree with what Stan has said.
Also, we have used ground tents since starting our Southern African travels in 2005 and have been totally safe in them

Very exciting and with the evidence on the tent always a story to tell ;D

Have always used ground tents with no issues what so ever apart from when lions ripped our guy rope off our awning a few years back in Kumaga.

Hi tcar
I feel the cold more than anybody and the cold really was not as bad as I thought it would be.
Nights and mornings are cold (our first week was very mild). Days are lovely. At least at...

We have just returned and the road from Two Rivers to Nossob is not bad at all and can easily be done in a 4x2. The road from Nossob to Polentswa was worse but it is just bad corrugation and can also...
