Pretty O.K.avango

After a warm shower and a nights good sleep in Maun the four of us got back in Radovan and headed towards the northern parts of the Okavango Delta. The Delta is a large area of wetlands which marks the end of the Okavango River also known as "The River Which Never Reaches The Sea." We crossed the river on a small ferry and got to the village of Seronga where we could arrange a mokoro trip for the following day. A mokoro is a narrow canoe which is pushed forward through the shallow waters using a long pole rather than paddle and for the next two days it was our mean of transport. Being poled around the swampy nature through hippopotamus-made canals in the reeds was very tranquil and we could just lay back and enjoy the scenery and wildlife surrounding us. At night we camped on a small island and the morning after we went for a hike around it, spotting more animals including the endangered and elusive wild dog. After finishing our trip in the delta we drove out of Botswana and into Namibia where we took a couple of days driving to Etosha National Park. Etosha is probably the best Safari Park I have seen so far and the amount of animals was incredible. No sooner had we entered the park before we were driving behind a pride of lions ten-strong, and the animal viewing just continued allthough the leopard stayed out of sight keeping my Big Five tally down to four. After this we were safari'd out and started our drive towards the coast.
