Jurassic Forest - Walking with Giants

25/1/2025

​When we were planning our big move from Botswana to Canada, we had no idea that Alberta specifically, was a popular dinosaur stomping ground waaaaay back in the day.  We had even less idea that there was a dinosaur named Albertosaurus and another named Edmontosaurus!  The dinosaur-themed park, known as Jurassic Forest, just north of the city of Edmonton is a great place to go on a day-trip and see some of these giant beasts “out in the wild”!

Elk Island National Park: RBOF's First Bison Encounter

6/5/2024

Located around 50km east from the city of Edmonton, Elk Island National Park in the Canadian province of Alberta is an ideal destination for a day trip out into nature, which is where RBOF ventured to on the last weekend of April.  With various picnic sites, hiking and biking tails, a kid’s playground and apparently droves of bison to see, we packed some snacks and drinks, checked the weather forecast (warm, sunny with some clouds) and off we went on our first Canadian RBOF day-trip.

As I was cruising along the David Thompson highway in my Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, Led Zeppelin’s “Rock & Roll” was playing on the radio, the magnificent Rocky Mountains were filling up my windscreen view and I thought to myself, “Welcome to Canada!”

After having gone through a global pandemic and having welcomed a new addition to our family at the same time, it had been a long while since RBOF had actually been on the road in any way, shape or form.  Seven months after welcoming our new camper to the family, we decided to brave out into the bush and spend a day and night with him in the chalets at the Mokolodi Nature Reserve.  Our streak of "bush excitement" was still as present as ever though...

CTEK Battery Sense - Never Get Stranded Again!

​We were in the middle of the Mokolodi Nature Reserve, near Gaborone, Botswana. It was a hot and dusty afternoon.  I had sliced open my index finger with a knife. Our First Aid kit was somewhere at home.  Our baby was tired and crying.  And the battery on our 4x4 was dead...

The global coronavirus pandemic is affecting everyone on our planet at the moment and self-isolation for now seems to be the best way to defeat this virus. "Prevention is better than cure", as they say and that means that we all need to stay at home to help prevent the spread of the virus.

The Gods Must Be Crazy (With Us) - Part 2

We woke up at around 7am on our second morning at Ihaha rest camp in the Chobe National Park in northern Botswana, having only slept for about three hours the night before. The massive tree branch that had snapped in the middle of the night, crashing onto our roof tent and car was now lying about a metre away from the vehicle.  We were tired, sore, hot and still in shock but those evil Camping Gods were not done with us yet.

The Gods Must Be Crazy (With Us) - Part 1

What better way to end off a very busy work year and to get some much needed rest  & relaxation than to go camping in northern Botswana for about a week? Well, it would seem we had angered the Camping Gods in 2018 and they were not having any of this “R&R” nonsense.  It was going to be one of “THOSE” kind of trips and we had no idea what was coming!

Sleeping With Lions, Hyena & Hippos: Third Bridge Campsite

26/12/2018

Most of our online research about the Moremi Game Reserve in north-western Botswana, and more specifically, Third Bridge Campsite within the MGR, revealed that this was proper, wild bush camping in the sense that you were in the middle of the wilderness and wild animals will be a common sighting in camp. This sounded perfect to us and thus we went and spent 3 nights of semi-camping at Third Bridge Campsite.
