I have taken two incredible weekend safari trips. My first was the Chobe Game Reserve in Botswana (very near to the border of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe). While there I visited Victoria Falls as well, which I will write about separately. My hotel near Chobe was overlooking the Zambezi River and Namibia was on the other side. My second weekend safari trip was to Madikwe Game Reserve just across the South African border (about an hour drive from Gaborone). While in Madikwe, I spent one night at a bush camp (with solar powered lamps and hot water bucket showers) and one night in a fancy hotel where I had a celebrity sighting (Adam Sandler!). Below are some of my favorite pictures of the "Big 5" that I took on my Iphone5, with one slight substitution...a cheetah instead of a leopard!
