I only realize that it is the 4th of July now that I’m writing this. I
hope all our US friends had a wonderful day!
We go on a game drive and see many deer: bushbuck, red buck,
koedoes, elephants, warthogs, giraffes, birds and baboons. The cats
keep on evading us. I hope they will see them in the Etosha. Back at the
camp: pack and a last visit with our friends where we exchange addresses
and telephone #’s.
We drive a long stretch on the Golden Highway through the Caprivi strip to the Popa Falls. The lodge where we wanted to stay is fully booked and we go to a community camp. This is a new concept which we really like: the community leaders provide a piece of land which then is developed as a camping site. The money received from tourists goes to the local community and is used for needs and development.
The camp is on the banks of the river with the roar of the Popa Falls a constant din in the background. I love the little bit of luxury: a thatched outdoor kitchen, 2 wash basins, countertops, warm water. Hugo helps me peel veggies for a potjie. The moment the sun disappears a chilliness appears and we are happy to have a fire to sit around.
