I spent quite a few nights on different parts of the Delta, including two nights at a remote bush camp (as in we hacked down trees to squeeze in tents and shared a swimming hole with an elephant) and even flew over the Delta after wards for a bird's eye view. Too much fun - well minus, all the watch for crocodiles and elephants . . . and they were everywhere!
Our polers singing traditional songs around our campfire one night.
Pretty, pretty.
A Baobob tree. They are huge and home to that crazy baboon from The Lion King.
Getting ready to fly over the Delta with our fine 22 year old pilot. Man, what was I doing when I was 22???
The traditional mokoro - that's how we got to our campground. I just wish I had a video to share of how terrible I was at trying to pole ourselves to the swimming hole from the campground.
Okavanga Delta sunet.
Our launch point with the mokoros. The locals say they have never seen the Delta this high before!
Our campground, Rainbow Lodge, on the Delta. No swimming allowed!
