As this is the Pajer forum, I will not bore you with lots of picktures of animals, although we saw quite a lot. Only some nice ones of the Pajero in it's natural environment.

Lekker lekker, That Kwai area is awesome, really like it from North Gate up to Chobe, definately a good spot, awesome pics too.

I see no snorkel and alot of deep water in that region, learnt a trick from Bostoe on 4x4community to use a wet or damp towel placed in front of the Paj grille and close the bonnet on the towel to keep water out, helps keep water out of intake and also the engine bay, but does not prevent water from being sucked in, but can see how it helps, haven't gone that deep to use it yet though, here is a pic when he crossed a river also in that area where it can get real nice and deep. Also can use a ground sheet, I always keep a towel in the boot to change a puncture, or throw on the ground for something or use for deep crossings to help protect.

Definately need to go back there again and spend a few days. Thanks for sharing and awesome pics!
