Standing on the shore of the Chobe River, wine glass in hand, each evening we watched the sunset over Namibia from our refuge in Botswana. In the distance is Zambia and here we can see three countries from a high place. As soon as the sun would set we would hear the animals through the walls of our safari tent. The moan of the hippo, the call of birds, and the roar of large cats. Our compound was surrounded by a low electric fence to prevent us from being bothered at night - except by the most dangerous animal in Africa, the mosquito. Deet is a major defense.
