We left Namibia and drove into Botswana. Botswana is another big country with not many people living there. It is not as big as Namibia, but it is a lot bigger that Thailand. Botswana is one of the best places in the world to find diamonds. Out of all the countries in Africa Botswana has quite a lot of money. Many of the people still live in houses made out of mud and grass though, many people are still quite poor.
Botswana is a very good place to see animals. We went to the Okavango Delta. This is a place where a big river goes into the desert. There is lots and lots of water everywhere. We got into small boats made from the trunk of a tree and went 3 hours into the middle of the water. There were small islands everywhere. We saw wild elephants on some of the is
lands. We slept in tents on one of the islands. There were no toilets, no fresh water, and had to cook our food over a small fire. Elephants were about 20 metres away on our island. They were quite scary but did not walk to where we were. At night we could hear hippos walking around the tents. Hippos are the most dangerous animal in Africa. They kill more people than al of the lions, leopards and cheetahs. They get very angry!! There were also crocodiles in the water nearby.
We went to Chobe National Park. This is a big place where lots of wild animals are. We saw giraffes, hippos, and baby elephants playing in the water. We even got to see 5 baby lion cubs. I don't think any of them was the 'Lion King' though.
The pictures are not from my camera, I cannot put any on the internet yet. When we get home I will put some pictures up.
