Guma Lagoon Camp

We decided to go away for a night, so I jumped on the net and looked up potential places to stay.
Ended up picking Guma Lagoon Camp.
Simon and Vanessa decided to join us.

It is about 300km from our place, at the top end of the Okavango Delta.

We headed off early, you go to Toteng (where I work) and continue to Sehithwa where you turn North on to the Shakawe road. You all know that way I am sure :-)

You turn off at Etsha 13, yes there is an Etsha 1, 2, 3 etc.
Then about 20km of sand 4X4 driving to reach the Camp.

Etsha 13

 

 

On the second day we drove further north, all the way to the Namibia Border, we did not go over, that is for another trip.

 

 

On the way back we stopped at "Crocavango", a crocodile farm that gives guided tours. We paid our 25 Pula each and had a 1 hour tour with our own guide.

This is their 5.5metre croc.

 

 

There is 700 1year old crocks in this enclosure.

 

 

We found this little guy on the road.

 

 

It is a Serrated Tortoise, they live in the desert.

 

 

 

                                                  

A local Scarecrow

There is always a LOT of animals on the roads here.

Night driving is actually not advised outside of towns.

Usually the cows move off with a toot of the horn.......

Not this guy, stood his ground and I had to come to a complete stop before it moved.

 

 

Our cars look like they are in a Mitsubishi advert here.

 

 

The whole of this area is overrun with donkeys.

Have seen alot of written off cars from these guys.

 

This was a great trip away, the camp is great and a decent price.
1800 Pula for the accommodation, 3 course dinner, sunset cruise, and hot breakfast.
You can take your own drinks too.

Have to recommend this trip and camp, Great all round.
Get over here to see this and more!!!!!!!!!
