The next morning we drove to a seal colony along the coast. I was expecting a couple of seals but this colony was 80,000 seals big so there were thousands of them chilling out on the beach which made it smell pretty suspect but it was amazing to see them all.

It's the rainy season and it was ridiculously wet which meant the road became a bit of a river so we had to go to Sokomund early - this is the river we finally decided we couldn't get across... at which point we cracked open the ciders and readied ourselves for another monster drive to get to the next place!

We were meant to stay up in this mountain range for the night, see some cave paintings and sleep out under the stars which are incredible because its in the middle of nowhere but unfortunately the weather had other plans...

At the campsite was a watering hole where you could go and sit and wait for animals at night. I managed about 20mins and I think I saw 1 owl but at least I got to try out my night mode on the camera!

Bit late in the blog for this but this is what we're travelling in - Songwe the truck! We went to see the salt flats and got absolutely stuck, cue manly pushing and digging and trying to lever us out but in the end we had to call up a tractor to come get us out... not too much of a problem as the cooler was full of cider so we were fine - when the guy came to pick us up he even said to our driver 'I don't get it they're stuck but they're all singing?!'

An Oryx - hadn't seen this guy before pretty prevelant in Chobe and as it turns out a very tasty game meat, only second to Springbock which was awesome. Still not sure I like they're version of dried meat which is Biltong but hey at least I'm trying them all..

We went on a game drive for 4 hours but not much was around although we did find this lion prowling around.
