We
got up at our usual game watching time of 5:30 but this morning, we
had a plane to catch. After a quick breakfast, we headed for the
airstrip to be reunited with our geriatric Cessna 206.
There was only
one animal which we had not yet seen, a male lion so our journey to
the airstrip became a quest to find one and, sure enough, we did. The
grand finale to our Moremi experience.
We
enjoyed a very scenic flight along the Okavango Delta – a
spectacular but substantial oasis in an otherwise very dry country.
We spent three hours in The Beast and are now comfortably settled at n'Kwazi Lodge, having crossed the border into Namibia. The power doesn't come on until four but the shower has a plentiful supply of hot water.
While
we were having lunch, a Porshe rolled in towing a camper trailer It
appears to have come from Zambia. Camper trailers are very rare here
so to see one being towed by a Porshe is very novel. There are no
caravans.
The
Lodge is located on the Kavango River which forms the boundary with
Angola so we are looking across at Angola. Some of the locals are
doing their washing on the bank of the river. Presumably there aren't
any crocs in it. Apparently they get their water supply by carrying
large containers of water on their heads from the river back to their
homes.
Tomorrow
we head for Etosha Game Park. More game drives no doubt.
