Driving through Botswana

From the Okavanga Delta we drove toward northern Zimbabwe. We drove through the Kgalikgadi national park.

There are these palm trees everywhere out in the desert. They have these big old brown fruit on them, the branches don't get broken off or trimmed and look pretty interesting, and untypical of the palm trees we are accustomed to seeing. 

These Giraffes were just eating beside the road, I don't even think we were in a national park or anything.

Again these enormous Elephants were just beside the road doing their thing. They were literally just a few hundred feet from a village. There was a whole slew of them.  

Excellent crakers, really funny name

We stayed at this campsite in northeastern Botswana that was full of these enormous Boabob trees.

I tried to climb this larger Boabob tree, according to the night guard, the tree was over 3000 years old.

There was a hammock below the big Boabob that we relaxed in for a while just soaking in the beauty of our surroundings.
