Day 16. Maun to Perth

There was no rush this morning. Most had packed before breakfast at 7.30 and afterwards we loaded a jeep with all our bags (which came later to the airport).

Three Delta Rain jeeps took us into Maun where most of the group did some last minute shopping . We regathered near the airport building where we linked up with renowned naturalist and cinematographer, Dr Tim Liversedge, and watched a video of his career and the development of tourism in the Okavango Delta. Tim and his wife, June, have a craft shop with a mini-cinema on the first floor. He is best known for his IMAX film Roar: the Lions of the Kalahari.

It took a while to check-in and our flight to Johannesburg left a few minutes late. An hour and a half later we landed in rain and then spent the next 5 hours either killing time in a restaurant or browsing through the shops of OR Tembo International Airport.Read more
