April 23 - 25
Kasane, Botswana
We left Bovu Island to get dropped on the side of the road and hitchhike to the border (about 20km). In no time, we found ourselves in the back of a police truck hitching a ride to the Zambia - Botswana border. We had joined forces with another American traveler, Peter, to celebrate the Easter weekend in Chobe National Park, Kasane, Botswana. Of course - without any reservations - we had to check out 3 different campsites for the busy Easter weekend. For our lack of planning, we ended up at Ngina Safari Campgroups with the locals! And the locals celebrate Easter! We stumbled upon an Easter concert and dance extravaganza with the Motswanas and Black Label Beer. The highlight was a "tina-turner-esque" woman named Slizer and her son Bibo! There were dance acts and music booming until 3am. The Afrians love Mikey and we quickly had a group of friends led by a dude named Baby. Quite a hilarious night!
On Easter Sunday - we went on a morning game drive in Chobe National Park - then onto Catholic Mass! The priest had us introduce ourselves to the congregation! The acappella singing in Setswana was beautiful! Then, we had a delicious easter lunch buffet complete with impalla steaks and a bottle of wine! After lounging by the pool - we ended the day with a Chobe river crusie! We saw a lot of wildlife both on the drive and river cruise. We truly had a blessed Easter Sunday!
