We stopped and camped just off the famous Chobe River in a little place called Kasane. During the course of the night we could hear Hyenas in the distance from the safety of our tents. We took the Elephant Sands highway which is known infamously for the most elephants crossing in one stretch of road. Unfortunately for us the truck this was the exact location where the truck decided to break down. After many hours of deliberation we decided that it was the clutch and in fact we were not going anywhere anytime soon. In total we were stranded by the side of the road for 7 hours! To fill the time we sunbathed, drank copious amounts of tea, did cheerleading and gymnastics and managed to rope the whole group into a group pyramid photo.
7 hours later................we were rescued by some friendly locals who took us in true African style, to an unplanned campsite for the night.
T.I.A. This is Africa!
Unfortunately the truck had to be taken away to be fixed leaving us with a new driver and truck.
Our new driver was called Doc and his truck was significantly more spacious than the previous.
Next stop the Okovanga Delta
