The Adventures of G & T in AFRICA

Month: April 2016

Finally a Place to Hang our Hat

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

If you want to see a wet delta this year, you’ll have to go far west. Vumbura Plains is an absolutely stunning camp set on a permanent lagoon so you can do water activities and game drives year round. The rooms are HUGE - my favorite part being the dramatically elegant central shower draped by a grand canopy of white curtains. Massive balcony with plunge pool, private dining on your deck and a unique modern design style. Game viewing and overall experience was fantastic! #wearewilderness #safariguide #okavango #botswana #botswanasafari #travelgram #safariblogger #africasafari #overlanding #explorebotswana #africansafari

Comparison of what the Okavango Delta should look like and what it looks like this year 😦The floods from Angola were approx 70% less than normal....leaving large parts of the delta like a massive desert(photo taken june 2019) #botswana #okavango #safariguide #safari #africatravel #wanderlust #travelgram #travelhappy

Otherworldly sunsets and elephants pretty much happen on demand in Botswana! #camping #botswana #safari #safariguide #overlanding #overlandafrica #travelguide #explorebotswana #travelgram #travelblogger #safariblogger #defender #landy #landrover #sunsets #africasunsets #sunsetlover #sunset_ig

In Savuti some naughty lion cubs took a special interest in Boomie. After they tired of ruining a few of their mom’s attempted kills, they decided to chew on our tires, lick our lights and paw at our tire trash bag. I put on my lion disguise so hopefully they would see me as a friend and not food 😛 #botswana #lions #savuti #safari #safariguide #travelguide #travelgram #overlanding #overlandlife #overlandafrica #defender #landy #landroverdefender #landrover

This is what showers look like at Khwai Community Camp where you get the rare privilege to camp in complete wilderness without any facilities. We had site 15 which right on the river and totally isolated. Lots of animal visitors and no people - our favorite combo! #camping #botswana #safari #safariguide #overlanding #overlandafrica #travelguide #explorebotswana #travelgram #travelblogger #safariblogger #defender #landy #landrover

Our 2nd breakdown happened on an infrequently travelled cut road from Linyanti to Savuti. We saw one car all day and he stopped to say - “you and your wife should be on top of the car. Lions in this area are bad, we often find breakdowns empty because the lions have taken them!” Two of the gears separated making it impossible to drive. We improvised using lock tite to paste them back together then I held the gear in place with a screwdriver while we drove! Sand and heat were blasting up at us from the open gear box as we drove - but we fixed the problem and didn’t get eaten 🦁#disasteraverted #breakdown #bushbreakdown #overlanding #botswana #safariguide #travelguide #travelgram #overland #overlandafrica #landylover #defender #landrover

The stunning Khwai River at sunrise, another one of our absolute favorite spots in Botswana #botswana #safariguide #travelgram #travelafrica #overlanding #overlandafrica #defender #landy #landrover #wanderlust #travelblogger #africa #wildlifephotography #sunset #sunsetphotos #sunsetsofinstagram #sunsetphotography

Piper pan is one of our new favorite spots in the CKGR. Vast open pans with interesting vegetation and lots of wildlife #ckgr #kalahari #botswana #africansafari #defender #landrover #landylover #travelgram #overlanding #overlanders #wanderlust #travelhappy

Learning to make fire from the San bushmen of the Kalahari. The San are an incredibly fascinating group with a tragic history - I hope they can keep their culture alive to pass on to future generations #sanbushmen #botswana #africanculture #everydayafrica #travelguide #botswanatravelguide #overlanding #travelgram #overlanders #wanderlust #travelphotography #travelblogger
