Botswana and Namibia Trip

Hi all.

A while since I've posted, although I do lurk from time to time.

*very* early days, but I'm thinking about going a bit further afield from
our usual Kenya outing, to Botswana/Namibia next year.
I'd be interested in any first thoughts on 'must see' stop offs, or route
advice.

We usually look for 10 days of game viewing/photography and 2-3 days beach
time at the end, so I guess its Botswana first then Namibia.
Possible locations on the list include Chobe, Moremi/Okavango, Etosha, Namib
desert and Skeleton coast.

However, I realise it looks like a lot of mileage!

I will pick this up again later in the year if that's okay, but I would
appreciate initial thoughts from anyone with experience in this area.
We don't do self-drive, so not too concerned about road quality etc.
We are also tied to school holidays (my wife teaches) so I'm interested in
views on the July - September time of year for this trip.

Thanks all.

PS just got back from India, including Ranthambhore, but this is an Africa
newsgroup so won't bore you with that one, other to say that Africa is
better !!
