The sign says, "Water is gift from God. . . use it do not abuse it. . . conserve it." And indeed we were reminded of how precious water is during our week of camping when we had to bring our own drinking water and rely on buckets of water from the river to wash our clothes and dishes. You suddenly start to realize how much water you go through in a week!
Our first destination: Kasanka National Park, where we spent one night.

washing the dishes in the dark
part of the road from Kasanka to Shoebill Island - that's Heinrich's vehicle in front of us
the road to nowhere - Shoebill Island. At the dead end of this road, we reached the front gate of Shoebill and then had to leave the vehicles and take boats to our campsite.
Hundreds of black letchwe antelope as far as the eye could see
Getting into the boats

setting up camp - with 5 tents this was always a marathon!

Elijah thoroughly enjoyed himself
slogging through the marsh barefoot to find the Shoebill
