Baobab Trees, Botswana (October 26)

We are on our way from Victoria Falls to Namibia. We are driving west mostly, so the days are starting to get longer. Yippie, we can even pack more stuff into our days (as if our days were not full enough already).

Today was mostly driving, not much along the way, some ostrich, donkeys, cows, a couple of elephants. For our efforts of driving all day, we are treated to a wonderful campground, called Planet Baobab. It is a couple of kilometers off the main road, down a gravel road, in the middle of nowhere. (I say this everyday, wow, we are in the middle of nowhere!!!).

There is no way we would stop here if our tour operator hadn’t picked this for us, and it is unbelievably beautiful. It is set up in the style of an African Village, with the savanna all throughout, a lovely pool (in the middle of nowhere!!!), a bar, restaurant, and the oldest and most incredible BAOBAB trees. We don’t know how old they are, we are guessing at hundreds and hundreds of years. Here are some pictures:
