African Road Trip - 4x4 Adventure
We startled this large male elephant in the tall brush of the Kaudom Reserve. It proceeded to chase us down the sandy track for about 40 yards.
Somewhere in the Kaudom Reserve, one of the axles on our Toyota gave up the ghost. We had brought a small collection of tools and were able to do a temporary fix in order to keep moving.
The ferry across the Okavango River had been broken for two days when we arrived at Shakawe. When the replacement ferry arrived, we stuffed our rig between a truck full of cattle and a supply vehicle and joined a few dozen locals for a short ride downriver.
A Unesco World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls, known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("the Smoke that Thunders") to the locals, tumbles 100 meters into a vertical chasm. At Danger Point there are no safety fences or signs restricting access to the slippery edge. Get careless and you'll be a candidate for a Darwin Award.
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa's most pristine features. Spring flows from the Kavango River create 15,000 square kilometers of waterways and islands. We hired a mokoro (dugout canoe) guide and spent three days exploring its inner reaches and reed-lined waterways.
