Day 35 – Nearly a wipeout!

Maun to Kasane, Thebe River Safaris

The night before we had been convinced by the kind, helpful owners of Discovery that we were crazy to take the 9 hour bus ride to Kasane when the flight was so cheap, so we opted for a sleep-in instead. Unfortunately K had one of her appalling, vomiting migraines all night – so we would never have made the 6am bus anyway! However she did just manage to scrape it together to crawl onto the 50 minute fight to Kasane. 

This is the first airport we have ever arrived in that doesn’t have taxis waiting at the terminal, but we eventually managed a lift and we made it to Thebe River Safaris, where K checked into bed and M took a walk to town (about 5km or so from our lodge), encountering an elephant on the side of the road on the way back (which as it turns out is a very common occurrence around here).

By the time evening came K had improved to the point where we booked some activities for the next day, but it was looking pretty shaky for a while there.
