Would love to hear about it after! We did a trip with Wilderness to Botswana and Vic Falls in 2005 and spent a fair amount of money, but it was definitely worth it!! Enjoy!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town_water_crisisLuckily it looks like Cape Town has avoided “Day Zero” for 2019 which is the day water resevoir levels are so low they were going to shut off the water to the city. In 2017, it was looking as if it were going to happen in 2018, but they must have gotten some good rains. Hard to imagine a city of 4.3 million people without running water. 💦

We used Wilderness Safaris. We went to Zambia, the River Club, then Savuti, Little Vumbura and finally Mombo, in Botswana. We posted several trip reports from the trip, which was around 2005.

I learned something today. Did not know what permethrin was, but I am most definitely NOT a camper!  Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

We were in Botswana mostly when we went (at the beginning of June), and there really were no bugs. I guess it depends on time of year and area also.

Well, yes, theoretically all safari camps in Botswana are 'tents', which is what we had, but you'd never know it from inside. Like I said, I don't know if it was the time of year or what, but we had zero bugs of any nature..

Thank you...I am very excited. I hear that once you go to Africa...if it speaks to you...you cannot help but go back. We will see. No truer words !!! We return to Kenya in a few weeks . Organizing pictures for a trip report i will do from Feb last year about a safari trip to the masa mara then two weeks with our dear friends in Watamu ... Not sure where to do the report ? Here or world wide forum ? Carol?
