Favorite wildlife experience ever - crawling on our hands and knees up to a pack of wild dogs!! We found the pack in Mana (where you are allowed to self drive/walk), we crawled up so they wouldn’t get scared off/disturbed. As we approached a warthog made a bad decision to walk by and the pack took off after him and flew by us!!!! Thrilling!! This is not something to do if you don’t have significant wildlife experience- we know wild dogs don’t hang out in areas where other large predators are and there have literally never been any reported attacks between the dogs and humans. Still always must proceed with respect and caution around all wildlife! @glister22 #zimbabwe #manapools #wilddogs

An ode to Skippy! We found this rum in Zim named after our doggie @skippylister who we miss very much when we travel. Too bad it tasted like petrol 🤪 @glister22

Our beautiful campsite on the banks of the Zambezi at Mucheni 2 . Nice shade, great views and a nearby pond for bird watching. But of course we had some stealthy baboons make a few raids 🙈 #zimbabwe #zimparks #manapools

Heading into Mana Pools in our Britz rental. We definitely missed having Boomie but were glad to cut out 2 days of driving

Gas lines in Zim are no joke! We were lucky to have some help from local friends or else we just wouldn’t have made it to Mana! Every petrol station we saw in every town had a line stretching for blocks! It took us a whole day to get supplies for our hilux rental since we decided not to drive Boomie to Zim

Typical village scenes from rural northern Botswana. Square or round thatch roofed huts, simple natural wood fences, lots of cattle, small tuck shops to get basic goods, central village water pumps, tiny one room health posts, and nearly all are connected to the electrical grid

Brought some nice new flare for Boomie from Peru! #llamalover #landrover #defender #landylover #overlanders #overlandafrica #landroverdefender

Most people think of Botswana as flat and dry - but driving across you will find areas of green lush hills and lots of kopjes jutting out (rocky cliffs) #botswana #camping #overlanding #overlandafrica #safariguide #safariadvice #africatravel #defender #landroverdefender #landylover

This was our second visit to the Kuru Arts Project in D’kar Botswana which is one of my favorite community development programs. The program supports local San Bushman to use art as an expressive outlet for their cultural traditions and a source of much needed income. I am obsessed with the genuinely unique colorful style of the art #art #localculture #tradition #bushmen #botswana

CAUGHT on camera! A very clever honey badger knows how to take down a latched trash can. He knocked it over so that gravity would be pulling on the latch, then he dug out underneath so that the latch would drop down into the hole and he could climb in! He visited us every night while in Savuti camp 7 #honeybadgerdontcare #honeybadger #gamecamera #botswana #camping #safari #overlanding4x4 #overlandafrica #travelgram

Last year water was up to the bonnet in Moremi and Khwai....this year river crossings were a breeze and allowed us to explore more areas. But we still always check the depth just to be sure!

Many people love Khwai northgate camp so we decided to give it a try but we definitely prefer Khwai community camp! The location of the campsites is lovely but they are really packed in together which made things quite noisy #botswana #camping #overlanding #overlandafrica #safariguide #safariadvice
