Kalahari Desert

INTRODUCTION: Another Kelly & Emmanuel adventure to wildest Africa : This time it's a jol to Central Kalahari and Kgalagadi only this time, Rod & Irene Delany will be joining us from Knysna thru to Khwai on the eastern side of Okavango Delta. No, we will not be staying in the same ' Khwai' campsite as our last trip. For us Kelly's the first into CK! 24 days of desert camping and hopefully some animals along the trek! Time to dust off the Metalian trailer and get our arses into gear! Carol and Peter together with Stuart and Doosie have headed to Twee Rivieren and only the Emmanuel's will join us in Mabuasehube Game Reserve. For those uninformed city dwellers / bush whackers, this area is located on the extreme Eastern side of Botswana and is incorporated into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park which together with the SA Gemsbok National Park covers an impressive 37 991 km2. While Terry has been merrily trying to catch a few tigers on the Zambezi river with some long standing beer swigging individuals, Lizzie has been cooking up a storm, filling up the camp freezers and stocking the Metalian pantry so we are totally self sufficient once we hit the tar road via Kimberley and then to McCarthy's Rest border stopover of Springbokpan Guest Farm. TK - aka CopK, McGyver and FOMO, for those who followed my previous 3 blogs, will be wholly in charge of our supply of wine/alcohol, water, fuel & solar power once we head into CK. This is the dry season of the Kalahari so spotting game is going to be manna from heaven !! Holding thumbs that nothing falls apart on that dusty, sandy road up north! Cheers from dizzy Lizzie
