| Our campsite at Njuca Hills |
I know a few of you wanted to know what our campsite looks like at Njuca Hills. This was taken early this morning before we departed. We spent most of the day on the road, but not before taking a much-needed bucket shower at Njuca.
The light was beautiful on the pans as we left the Makgadikgadi, so we spent a good 30 minutes taking photos.

If only you knew how far and how fast I had to run to take this second shot of the vehicle and us! Yep, I was too lazy to find and set up my remote so I sprinted instead to beat the 10-second timer on the camera. It came out pretty nice, though! :)
We left the park around 11:00 and headed for Nata. Along the way we had a picnic next to a massive baobab tree. The earth around it was completely under water, attracting a load of dragonflies, which JI tried to photograph (with some level of success I'm sure you'll agree!?)

From Nata, where we filled up with fuel, water, coke and St. Louis (the light local beer), we headed north to the Pandamatenga border post. Along the way we saw more elephants (33 in total) than we did in the Makgadikgadi National Park, and this next to the tar road! You've got to love Botswana!
We got through Panda without trouble and took a slow drive through spectacular scenery to our destination for the following two nights: Robins Camp in Hwange - Zimbabwe's largest National Park. And just so that you know, the Sat4Rent satellite terminal is now on a table...on the bakkie's roof! Yep, if it's not on JI's head, it's on something else that can give it height and ultimately, signal.
For those of you who guessed how many animals we're going to see during the trip, we've updated that specific post with our own guesses. Keep your guesses coming in, please! Here's the link to the guessing-post.
Let's hope we add to those numbers tomorrow! Night night.
