Okavango Delta at Boro Day 9

Today was the first of 3 days we spent in the Okavango Delta. We left our bags in Sitatunga Camp guarded by Dumi in the truck, and taking Gift with us, with only day packs filled with minimum clothing, rattled our way through Maun on the back of an old 10-tonne truck to the Boro district of the delta.
There we were met by 9 villagers who lined up to take us and our provisions in mokoros to the island, 1.5 hours away, on which we were to camp for the next 2 nights. It was an interesting ride through the reeds with occasional hippo pools and paths. Once we were on dry land we set up our tents and after lunch relaxed through the heat of the day, some talking, some sleeping.
At 5.00 we were polled to a nearby island where we set off on a walk to a hippo pool. In all we walked for about 2 hours during which saw hippo and wildebeeste. A beautiful clouded sky allowed for magnificent sunsets as the night closed in on us. Dinner back at camp cooked by Gift and his helpers and we were all in bed reasonable exhausted after an interesting dayBaca lagi
