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 ...
TO ALL WHO ARE SENDING WELL WISHES .... MY HUMBLE THANKS AND APPRECIATION AGAIN...

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 monthsrvanrooyen wrote:Happy birthday and thanks for the post.
