Africa Day 24

Today we went to Botswana by a transport vehicle.  (It was easier to use taxis in Zambia and Zimbabwe than to rent a car.  It’s expensive to rent cars in these countries and we couldn’t take our car from South Africa into either of these countries.  Plus taxis are really cheap.)  When we got to Botswana we picked up our rental car and checked into our hotel the Kasane       Self Catering.  We got lunch and some groceries and then drove around looking for animals.  We also drove to a point where you can see 4 different countries at once.  We saw Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and obviously Botswana.  We saw a bunch of elephants, but not much else.  We went to dinner and had and early night to bed.

 This is the place that you could see 4 countries at once-Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana. There was a ferry that you could take across the river from Zambia and Botswana.  Only one truck or car can go over at a time.  There were semi-trucks lined up for at least a mile to get on the ferry.  I asked the truck driver who was 2nd in line how long he had been waiting and he said that he had been waiting for 5 days.  I asked why he didn't drive and he said that it was much more expensive to drive.

 It is very tropical here in Kasane Botswana near the Zambezi River.  The gardens at our hotel were beautiful.
