So we have unofficially decided to try to celebrate every anniversary with an adventure. Last year, our honeymoon was such an amazing experience. This year, we traveled even farther. I had to be in Botswana for work at the beginning of August, so we decided to meet up in Johannesburg, South Africa for a week of exploration and adventure. We had a couple friends and family also join us on our African adventure, because the more, the merrier.

So, 3 weeks into the new job and I get an e-mail asking for volunteers on a project in Botswana, Africa. Without hesitation, I volunteered to go. I had a couple weeks to prep for the trip which included some safari clothing (of course), a Borrow Lenses rental of a Nikon 200-500mm lens and a backpack capable of carrying all my gear, a trip to REI for some portable water filtration and other supplies, and most importantly, a trip to the doctor for some rather painful vaccinations. I researched and planned everything as carefully as possible. The co-workers that went with me all expressed interest in going on a safari for the weekend, so we made reservations at the Tao Game Lodge on the Madikwe Game Reserve for one night.
