Okavango Delta

Day 1
-woke up in Maun and packed our bags to head to the Okavango Delta
-we jumped in safari trucks and headed to our pickup point where we got into makaro's (traditional dug out canoes)
-it was amazing 'poling' through the shallow waters where we got to see hippos!
-we got to our island and setup our tents on a very remote location surrounded by trees and wild life!
-we had some lunch then got to chill for the afternoon where we played bullshit and monopoly deal with Steve, Peta, Adam, Joel, Prue, Jordan, Tony and Nicky
-we then went on a bush walk around 5.30pm which was amazing! We saw lots of giraffes, zebra, impalas and a few warthogs!
-General was our guide and he told us some great stories about how bushmen use elephant dung and other animals to put over themselves to enable them to get closer to animals and hunt them down
-we also saw plenty of water buffalo just outside our camp
-we came back for a delicious stew for dinner, marshmallows for dessert and some campfire games!

Day 2
-woke up in Okavango Delta after some amazing animal noises overnight
-we went for a 3hr dawn walk across the Delta where we saw more giraffes, zebra, impala and some really good shots of warthogs!
-we kept walking around and saw plenty of animal footprints including fresh lion prints!
-we came back from breakfast and then had the rest of the day to chill out
-tried my chance at 'poling' which was fun and went for a swim where we saw some nearby hippos!
-came back and played more monopoly for the rest of the afternoon before going for another swim before heading out for a dusk mokoro
-the canals were so peaceful and then we came across a herd of 20+ hippos which was amazing and we enjoyed some beers in the mokoro whilst watching the sunset!
-we came back to camp to have some more yummy dinner before we were treated to an amazing singing and dancing show by the poler group
