SAVUTI - KASANE 84km

So after the game drive, we had a bite to eat where Fred was staying and then departed around noon for Kasane. Exited at Chobe at Ghoha gate, and then immediately was in thick sand for 30km straight, but with my tyres at 1.9bar was able to get through in 2 wheel drive mostly in 3rd gear.
Got to the cross road and was light sand, easy,please for about 25km and then on to asphalt all the way back into Chobe Kgoma gate. I went off the main road down to the river and followed it up all the way to Kasane, seeing many elephants along the way.
Camped at Thebebe campsite, got the same spot when I was here on my bike in 2018, right by the river. Am sorry we did not go to Senyati camp, as I was advised to do but circumstances didn't allow it. Had a pizza at the bar and then turned in for the night.
Got our covid rest early Thursday morning at the immigration/border post ($45) . Ended up at Chobe Safari Lodge where we lounged around and had lunch, then got the bakkie washed and then did the three hour boat safari and saw the normal culprits eating and sleeping and grunting.
Got back to camp and went to Nando's for some chicken and then that was another day done. 
So my next blog is Roy in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and you are not advised to go there as it is the same boring dribble of a blog.
