Okavango Delta. Planes, Makoro's and Automobiles. 27th - 29th June.

We're obviously travelling in the coolest car in Africa but away from the road, travelling by plane was pretty damn good.
500 feet above the ground, flying over the delta was pretty amazing. we were all buzzing (johns fuzzy head aside).
Saw big herds of Buffalo and elephant and plenty else. It was cool just to see the scale of the delta. We hardly scratched its surface. Would love to go back.
We got to watch the sun setting over Botswana on the return journey and the colours were amazing. The changes as the sun is going down and the long shadows are immense and so different to the day.  I have big memories of sunsets in Africa. The delta looked amazing.






If plane travel was cool, Makoro travel was chilled. We spent a night out in the bush and travelled by speed boat and makoro. It included long walks among Zebra, Elephant and Wildebeest. Good fun and seriously relaxing.  As you can see from the photo's, Monkey was well involved and Ciara had started playing with different camera functions.
