Okavango Delta

From Victoria Falls we headed into Botswana and the Okavango Delta.  We went on a three night Mokoro (canoe) trip into part of the delta.  It wasnt quite how we imagined it would be.  We were poled to a camp on an "island" and did morning and afternoon walks from there. The water was really low, the rains have only just begun in Angola and the water hasnt reached the delta yet.  We saw the usual giraffe, impala, jackel, badgers and elephants, some up quite close, and remember that we were on foot.  We also went to a hippo pool one evening and watched 13 or so hippo watching us.  We are hoping that we finally got that big toothy grin hippo photo!

[Not sure why this email was so short as we had a good time in the Okavango Delta, walking around looking for animals...]
