Our last stop in Botswana was the town of Kasane located on the Chobe River in the northeast corner of Botswana and the border with Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe (the only place in the world where 4 countries touch) and, of course, adjacent to Chobe National Park’s Serondela area. Kasane is the largest town in northern Botswana with a population of about 10,000 and is the countries northern gateway to Chobe NP and visits to Victoria Falls in neighboring Zimbabwe. Kasane is pretty much a safari gateway town as essentially all businesses and people are tied either directly or indirectly to the safari business. Here’s what Kasane looks like from the air, borrowed from the internet (thank you very much).
Kasane was a brief stop for a little R&R for us at Chobe River Cottages and an opportunity to resupply and get some minor vehicle issues taken care of. We did do a sunset boat ride on the Chobe, along with hundreds of other tourists. It was relaxing and it was nice to see hippo and elephant herds with babies up close in the water and marsh, but otherwise there is nothing else exciting to report. Here are a couple of photos from the sunset cruise:

Just keeps getting better! We are all addicted to your stories and fantastic photography! Glad you got to share it with your brother and Kirsten, really special. Now you and Nancy carry on, enjoy that amazing journey together ❤️, and watch out for those pesky baboons!! Cheers from Colorado! XXOO
We are being vigilant with regards to baboons from now on, but haven’t had any further problems, so far! Cheers from Africa to all you Coloradans.
