Okovango Delta - Maun, Botswana



Tonight we’ll be spending our 3rd and last night here at Maun (Botswana).  It has been a great time here at Audi Camp, with friendly neighbours, good food, even a chilly swimming pool to enjoy quickly before our sunset jaunt along the Okovango Delta thisevening…..

Wow, what a great experience!  We booked ourselves a 2 hour boat trip on the Delta, with our own private skipper – Bafana.  He was a little late for our 4pm booking, but he definitely made it up to us with a stop shortly after leaving the riverbank to make us some day lily necklaces.  Kaylin loved it, and Xan says he will keep it to show the girls at school…. what a sweatheart!

The boat had a nice fast engine which the kids absolutely loved, but the speedy trip still managed to capture the magic of the Okovango as the sun disappeared and gave us yet another stunning African Sunset.


We’re not sure where we’ll be heading tomorrow, somewhere in the direction of Tsodilo Hills.  A bit more remote, and off the beaten track so we’re not sure what to expect – sounds exciting!  So if we don’t update this blog in the next couple of days, don’t worry, we’re fine – just enjoying the solitude for a bit….

Oh yes…. Huge highlight coming up tomorrow morning – we’ve booked ourselves a flight over the Okovango Delta in a 5 seater Cessna airplane.  I’ll make sure to put some photo’s of the trip in the next blog post.  Looking forward to it!
