Day 11: 28 December
Getting up bright and early we watched the sunrise over misty gorge, and then went for an early walk just enjoying nature.

The foreign guest were taken to the airport and I traveled on with the bus.
Back from Zimbabwe through Botswana into Namibia only stopping for petrol and snacks. It took 2 days to drive back over a distance of 1240km.
The route traveled started from Victoria Falls through the Zambezi National Park onto the Botswana/Zimbabwe border post.
From there we followed the A33 through the Chobe National Park and the Chobe flood plains until we reached the Botswana/Namibia border post @ the Ngoma Bridge River crossing.
Once in Namibia follow the B8 through the Salambala Conservancy and straight on through the Caprivi Game Park, intermittently spotting antelope and plenty of birds. After 576km and 7.5hrs we arrived in Rundu, refuelled and continued due South.

The next 258km took us about 3hrs, We watched the clouds building up. The lightning in the distance,and the setting sun provided for beautiful scenery. I tried to capture some images through the rain-splattered windscreen of the moving bus. It was already dark when we reached Grootfontein. Another stop at the petrol station and the the bus looked for a quite spot in this little town to stay for the night.

I was tired but very happy to be back home, where I could unpack; download the 1874 photos which I had taken;-) and thus relive the wonderful and wondrous moments.
Once again it was amazing to travel through Namibia, and it left me wanting for more......so got to get planning my next trip...
