We arrived at the "A Frame" lodge at Khama Rhino Sanctuary near Serowe, Botswana in the afternoon, unload the car, grabbed a few cold drinks to save us from the 40 plus degree weather. The Rhino Sanctuary is full of wildlife of all kinds not just the White Rhino which they are trying to save. We went out in the car again and did a massive game drive throughout the reserve seeing Rhinos, giraffe, warthogs, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, kudu, and much more.
We went back for a shower which happened to be an outdoor shower and toilet which just some wooden fencing around it. You could still see out through the gaps and was really nice and relaxing having a shower and looking out for Rhinos and other animals.
That night we had a wonderful dinner at the reserves new restaurant and watched the most amazing lightning storm I have ever seen. I tried for half an hour to get one decent photo but about 200 shots I only managed to get one decent picture worth saving.
The following morning we had to pack up the car for the final time and get on the road heading back towards South Africa. On the way out of the reserve though my Dad and I decided to climb a really old rickety watch tower. It was missing the first few steps so we had to climb up the posts and then use the rest of the ladder to get to the top. It was about 10m or so high but provided an amazing view over the reserve. After a few min of trying not to move around too much to stop the tower swaying back and forth we climbed back down, got in the car, and settled in for the 8 hour drive back to South Africa.
