Gert was awoken by me as I walked into the bar area and the alarm went off and woke up the camp. He then made coffee and I had some of my muesli and was off to a good start with some food in me.
It's a long stretch of asphalt along the Caprivi with plenty of cattle and goats galore. Stopped at Nambwata Gme Reserve and got a guide and drove for four hours but was a little disappointed, didn't see one elephant and last time I was here it was elephants everywhere. Managed see some buffalo, giraffe, sable, impala and two tortoises, oh and a Black Mamba.
I had another 110km to go and an hour left of sunlight but made it to a splendid campsite at dusk. A nice grassy knoll on the Zambezi river with real nice ablutions.
Had a good lamb curry and then hit the the tent, had to move it as the night guard told me to come to another spot as the Zambians row across at night and steal stuff. He helped me move just three spots down and he slept just outside near my tent. The music blasted all night from Zambia was unbelievable, all night long !
