Jumped onto a new truck leaving Livingstone towards Johannesburg. 9 people on this truck, 6 of which came from my last truck so we had the majority. A lot more space so we all had 2 lockers, 2 rows of seats and it just felt good to be able to spread out. I think 24 was too crowded, 9 is too small, so 15 is the perfect number. At the Zambia/Botswana Border Crossing, I met a guy Rocky trying to sell me necklaces who was wearing a Grant Thornton hat. It was even in the new logo...crazy! First stop was Chobe National Park where we had a sunset cruise on the river. Got pretty close to some hippos and alligators and tried to get them to ram the boat with no luck. Leaving Chobe we stopped at Elephant Sands and took a game drive and nature walk in the bush searching for elephants...spotted plenty of them along with giraffe and zebras. Crossed the border into South Africa and made camp right outside Kruger National park. Took a night drive on a private game reserve bordering Kruger and spotted 4 of the Big 5. The next day we had an all day Game Drive in Kruger and spotted all of the big 5!!! Perfect way to end the overland trip. Long drive to Johannesburg where the group said our goodbyes and I got ready for my solo Christmas in one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
