Maun & Helicopter Over Okavanga Delta

We arrived in Maun mid day today and opted to take to the skies. Six of our group treated ourselves to a 45 minute helicopter ride over a portion of the Okavanga Delta. This is the largest inland Delta in the world. It usually fills up with water between March and August and although it was mostly dry, it was stunning just the same and we were able to spot some different wildlife such as the Cape Buffalo, Hippopotamus (even a tiny baby), both in pods in the water and on land which is rare, Red Lechwe, Egrets, Gnus and plenty pairs of mom and baby elephants. Our lodge is in a very serene setting with a lovely big pool and outdoor dining under the stars. A truly great day with a blend of thrills and relaxation. We are off to explore more of the Okavanga Delta tomorrow morning.Leggi altro
