Our camping, safari experience was a whirlwind of passport stress, free chartered flights, quintessential safari game drives through the bush of Moremi Game Reserve, mokoro rides through the reeds, hippo chases, elephant crossings, nauseating scenic flights over the delta, and uncomfortable peeing experiences in order to avoid being eaten alive by rabid hyenas at the campsite. It was an amazing time, but Im geared up and ready to head up North to Accra and coastal Ghana. More to come about my delta trip, but for now, enjoy the photoes!
1.Elephants were everywhere as well! A family of three even walked right through our campsite. Luckily they didn't destroy our tents!!
2. A relaxing swim in the Okavango River after baking in the mokoro boats all morning! Hopefully we didn't get any parasites :)
3. Sunrise at the Delta
4. Hippos were everywhere- in and out of the water. Did you know that hippos kill more humans than any other animals? The highlight of the motor boat ride was chasing a hippo doing butterfly through the winding delta rivers!
5. Jackie and Rachel on the traditional Mokoro Ride through the Delta
6. Zebras galore! The national animal of Botswana is well represented in Moremi Game Reserve where we went on all of our safaris
7. Photograph of the clouds outside of Ranann, Alicia, and my free chartered flight from Gabs to Francistown. In a nutshell, we weren't able to get onto the flight to Maun, but were lucky enough to get a free mini flight to Ftown then take a cramped, sweaty, 6-hour bus ride to Maun (followed by a 4 hour safari drive through the puddles and cocobelles of the African bush!)
8. Rockin the zip-off safari pants. Yeah, thats right! Only in Botswana :D
9. Close up and personal with some elephants
