August 8th

This is it the day we start our Safari, pack up the car the way we feel is the most practical as from today we will be packing and unpacking every day. It takes a little while to sort out everything but we finally manage.





We leave Gabs, not before showing Charles were he grew up for the first 2 years of his life, on our way to Nata. It is one of the longest drive of our trip, distance wise, we will be driving 650 km. The road is quite boring with not a lot to see.







Just the tropic!












First picknic, and the kids have become fans of the large soft drink cans that are available here (440ml)!










The road turns out to be quite busy as it is Sunday afternoon. By the time we get to the Francistown area, it looks like many people are returning back to town for the week.

We finally get to Nata Lodge just after sunset and as expected there is room for us to park the car and put “up” our tents, for real this time. It is dark but we manage quite well. The wood is dry and the fire starts up easily, food will be ready soon. After dinner, by the fire, we go to bed early as we all feel quite drained after the last couple of days.
