Ravalomanana landed at the Kasane International Airport late on Thursday in the company of his closest family members. Chobe District authorities met him at the airport.

The entourage, which included that countrys first lady Lalao and their two sons proceeded to Mowana Lodge where they lodged until yesterday when they returned to their country.

The president and his team were treated to game viewing through a land drive along the Chobe National Park early Friday morning.
