Day 18 - Namibia/Botswana Safari 2015. R&R Hakusembe River Lodge (Rundu - Angola Border)

The Okavango known as Cubango in Angola all of 100metres across

Had to take the morning off to catch up on our blog so everyone would know what we had been up to.

But before I could get to this task the car had to be tidied up and repacked…..by order of Denise.

We than had to get onto the car roof to get the petrol jerry can down so we could decant back into the car. Needless to say I get up onto the roof with Denise pushing me from the rear…..you can   just imagine what we must have looked like. On the roof had to pass the can down to Denise and then had to get down another push and pull exercise, we than empty the petrol into the car and once more aided by my trusty helper back onto the roof to secure the jerry can. All necessary repairs to the locks and squeaky parts of the car were also attended to.  We can now join a travelling circus with our act.

As a sweetener we go on a Sundowner champagne cruise and see Crocodile, Water monitor lizards and lots of bird life some not seen any where else.  The river is about 100 metres wide and is flowing fast and we are told that this is the place to do Tiger fishing the season being from September to December.

It would take a lot of this to kill me.
