Botswana - Okavango Delta

Today the plan was to leave the house boat and return to the Gecko’s truck so we could continue on our journey north east. Our start was little delayed because the tender that was meant to be taking us was very late.... our favourite saying T.I.A (This is Africa) was used a lot.

We eventually got back to the Gecko’s truck after a 2h speed boat ride, again spotting a few crocs and loaded our gear. 

After about 5 hours in transit, a border crossing back into Namibia, and a “Happy Tree” (pee) stop that nearly got our bus driver a ticket, we made it to our campsite at Zambezi River Lodge which is on the banks of the Zambezi River.

We watched a beautiful sunset over the River and witnessed 3 Hippo’s playing in the distance and then retired to bed ready to head to Chobe National Park tomorrow.
