Okavango Delta

We next headed into Botswana, and straight into the delta of the Okavango river. There are all big game here - lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhino, giraffes and hippoe. We drove for several hours on a truck to get nearby, changed trucks and then went right up onto the shore. Then we changed to dug out canoe, and started to paddle out into a remote island.

We really were out in the middle of nowhere, hundreds of miles from the nearest city. All we could see were beds of reeds for miles around. After a few hours we stopped, and set up camp on a medium sized island - small enough to have no other people living on it, but large enough to have all the big game
