8/18/12

This morning we left at 7a.m. to begin our journey to Botswana for the Chobe Safari. We arrived at the border and were picked up by a small boat to head across the border where we went through immigration. We were then picked up by a safari jeep. While in e immigration line, we met a girl from Kentucky that lives at the Zimba Mission House and is a med student.  Small world! We will be spending Sunday evening through Wednesday with her.  The first part of the tour was a boat cruise for 2.5 hours.  There was coffee, tea and cookies provided for us.  The morning was chilly and windy, but quickly warmed up.  We saw a lot of elephants, hippos, buffalo, native birds, ect.  The scenery was gorgeous! We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to go on the safari.
     We had lunch at the Chobe Safari Buffet before the second part of the safari.  We had to learn patience today as we all experienced pushy and rude foreigners in the buffet line. After lunch we loaded the safari jeep and headed for the sand.  This part of the day was fun as well.  We saw many elephants again, hippos, giraffes, Kuku (African), monkeys, ect.  We were within feet of an elephant at one point. 
     Tomorrow we will head to church and then Victoria Falls for the afternoon!
