Okavango

May 15 and
16

Imagine
flying low level from the dry Makgadikgadi pan to the lush and green Okavango
delta. What a contrast!

For us used to the green hills of Africa the lush is
not a surprise, but the water everywhere certainly is. We flew over elephant,
zebra, oryx, buffalo, hippo… in less than an hour we were at Chobe. Savuti camp
is nicely nestled on the Savuti channel, among the trees: lovely.

The afternoon
drive delivered a thrilling encounter with three lion brothers. Very up close,
for some guests even a little bit too close!

The next
morning a great game drive in between the Savuti and the Selinda provided a
bunch of new species for most of our guests: Letchwe, Kudu, Roan, Tsessebe,
Honey Badger. We saw many elephants and even more hippos, in the unusual
setting of the Okavango. The afternoon was spent scouting the channel by boat.
We love surprises… a bush dinner under an amazing starry sky ended a perfect
day. Photos speaks for themselves…
