Our honeymoon was amazing. It was the best, most relaxing, romantic, adventurous, just plain and simple, most superb honeymoon that anyone has ever been on. And I know it was because I just on cloud 9 the entire time. Everything that we had planned for went smoothly and even though we went during the rainy season and expected to be drenched, the occasional thunderstorm just, literally and figuratively, rolled off our raincoats. We were treated with such great hospitality, friendly fellow tourists, and excellent guides the entire time. We spent just enough time at each location to get an idea of the different regions of Botswana and in South Africa, wined and dined till we were in food comas. South African wine country has a lot going for it and I can't recommend it enough for anyone who wants to be around mountain scenery, fine dining, and an up-and-coming wine industry.
So that's the recap. Here are some pictures for you:
After our international flight to Johannesburg, we had a tiny layover for our flight to Kasane. Here we are flying over the Madgadikadi Salt Pans which are located in southeastern Botswana.
Here we are on the plane. The plane had room for about 50 passengers but there only about 12 of us on there.
Welcome to the tiniest airport ever. Here's Kasane's immigration counter. Oh, and baggage claim, well they just bring the bags right over to you in the waiting lounge.
We were picked up by our a staff member from lodge, Muchenje Safari Lodge, and on the road to the lodge we passed through the Chobe Game Reserve and even before we were on our first safari drive we were welcomed by the giraffes!
More to come...
