Botswana is absolutely beautiful! The daily adventures into the bush are fascinating—it's a different experience each time. We saw the Big Five: a lion, a leopard, an elephant, a buffalo, and a rhino. The various tented camps each have their own charm. Mombo has the best game viewing in Botswana. Abu is an elephant-back safari—we rode elephants for three days and had a truly elegant dinner in the bush (complete with hyenas to clean up). Vumbura has the most luxurious tents—they give the illusion that you're sleeping outside. At Jack's Camp we went quad biking in the Kalahari Desert. North Island (in the Seychelles) is a private island in the Indian Ocean with the most beautiful unspoiled white beaches. We had a honeymoon dinner on the sand, where we were surrounded by torches set into hearts made of sand. Africa has captured my imagination. We're already planning Namibia for 2008!
