Journal: North Botswana safari - hired guide and vehicle

At this link of ChobeSafari.com: over the next 5 days, there is a 5 part detailed journal by Johan de Bondt of a driving photo safari from:

1) Nogatsaa & Tchinga (Chobe forest);
2) Savute;
3) Khwai riverside (Moremi);
4) Bodumatau (Moremi);
5) Xakanaka (Moremi)

Johan and 3 others hired guide and vehicle and charted the path themselves. He gives a good review of roads, campsites and photo opportunities. If you are considering a self drive or hiring a guide and doing your own thing, this is a good read of what you will be getting yourself into - both the good and the challenging.
