Last weekend we took a bus down to Livingstone with our roommates. On Sunday morning Will and I went on a safari in Botswana which is only about an hour from Livingstone. The safari started by boat where we saw plenty of animals drinking water and staying cool. Because it is the end of the dry season all the animals are looking for water so they all congregate at the same watering holes. That afternoon we got in a Land Cruiser and headed for the plains. Since this is the slowest time of year and the hottest we were the only ones in the truck. We stayed the night in Chobe and camped out. Beside our guide and the cook we were also the only ones at the campsite. It was such a nice time for Will and I to get away and have some time together.
