Lessons learned in a Caprivi Village We visited one of the local villages in the Caprivi region, and it was very interesting to learn about how the houses and huts were built. It was also interesting to see how locals used wood when cooking, and I then realized that we had actually been using wood at campsites the Finnish way. We didn't burn just a bit of a log, we burned the whole log, whereas the locals only burned a small part when cooking food. We were used to wood burning quicker, but the wood used here burned much slower. And although we used wood sparingly, we still could have used it even more sparingly.   It was also nice to watch the children play football (soccer) and hear what they wanted to do when they grew up. T here ' ll be more doctors and pro football players in Namibia in the future :)!

Caprivi and Bwabwata National Park From the Okavango Delta we drove up to the Caprivi region and stayed near the Bwabwata National Park in Namibia. We took a game drive in a smaller area of the park (not Mahangu) , and it was surprisingly quiet, almost eerily so. But then a 4x4 carrying a recently shot elephant drove quickly by. And that explained the eer ie silence. The larger animals had fled, and the smaller ones were keeping quiet. Trophy hunting is allowed in that specific area of the Bwabwata National Park. We didn't know that and were quite shocked.
