Now in Namibia with VSO in Rundu in the Kavango region. We've been here since September 2004 and will leave at the end of August 2006. We both work in Education, Helen as a Special Needs Advisor and me as Maths and Physical Science Advisor based in Rundu, the capital town of the Kavango Region.
Whilst here we have travelled in the Namibia, Botswana and Zambia and have been enjoying lots of camping and BQs. In the north of Namibia, there are lots of good lodges and nature reserves that are within a relatively short distance. So we have seen lots of wildlife including birds, different antelope, and elephants. As the Kavango river is on our doorstep in Rundu, we have also explored the area and seen crocodiles and hippos. The hippos are usually easily seen further along to the east but there are crocodiles everywhere.
There are also several good walks between the lodges, although not marked as such (perhaps this is a "Kavango Way" for the future!)
