Happy birthday and thanks for the post. Would like to do a trip to the Caprivi, maybe all the way to the waterfalls, if possible.

MARNUS -

Thanks very much for the photos..... I'm sure I've noted a similar viewing along our route.... now I'm wondering if it was probably the Okavango Bridge... otherwise maybe another in that area?? Looks like this "past year" / birthday is helping my memory loss ... :rolleyes:

TO ALL WHO ARE SENDING WELL WISHES .... MY HUMBLE THANKS AND APPRECIATION AGAIN... :clap:
Here's to the next 4x4 trip Good company, remarkable scenery & a good capable vehicle - WISH LIST: custom front & rear bumper+winch, Air assist springs.

Put the Caprivi on the top-end of your bucket list, and do it with your family... tons of things to do & see. N.B. - Remember to take your anti-malaria meds, if traveling in the warmer months
