Amazing to see so much water there, Is that normal or was it just a partuclarly good rain season?
:lol: Ja, the wife did complain about shattered nerves on occasion, but I think she`s forgiven me! :biggrin:

They had alot of late rain in Moremi this year, and the Caprivi region had the most rain since 1969, so the water levels were definately higher than usual for April. Made for pretty spectacular scenery though!
