4th of July

4th of July!!
Today we are going to watch Rugby - the last game between the Springboks - South Africa's Team - and the British and Irish Lions. The Boks won the previous 2 games - just. With some new changes made to them we'll have to see what will happen!!

Tomorrow I plan to go out to Kalimbeza Rest Camp 7 Fishing Safaris to relax. Lying on a backwater of the Zambezi River, this is a very rustic camp, made specially for anglers! There are also 2 Lodges lying to the east and west of Kalimbeza Fishing Camp. We had some great fun at Kalimbeza Fishing Camp. Going out with the boats early morning, spending my time taking photos while the others fish. I can fish, but like taking photos more. We work on a catch-and-release policy, but sometimes we catch a bit of lunch.... Cleaning the fish there and then and then frying it on a little gas fryer on the water. Fish cannot get any fresher....


Tomorow I'll take a picknick basket and spend my time birdwatching. But the real place for birdwatching is on the Kwando River!! Over 400 species have been recorded there!! The Kwando is flooded at this stage - the Caprivi really suffered with floods this year. I visited Horseshoe - a round cut-off from the river, which decided to rather take a short-cut then keep on flowing the long way - and was left speechless by the elephant herd there. To read more about the Caprivi, the residents - people, fauna and flora, the flooding and to see the photos, go to www.caprivi.bizWell, off to watch the Rugby!! I'll tell you real soon about my next planned game-viewing trip!
