I woke this morning to the sounds the animals living in the surrounding bush, it never seems to be quiet but the sounds are so unlike anything at home, so many different birds, some that that sound like you are hitting a metal bar, baboons calling and fighting, and so many other sounds that I cant identify. After returning from Odballs Camp we set off to retrace our route for about 90km as we head to the western side of the Delta before turning north on a narrow tarred badly pot holed road that runs parallel to the Okavango river. the road was so bad and had so many animal hazards, goats crossing, donkeys wandering haphazardly down the road, that we averaged less along this stretch than when travelling along the sandy dirt roads. We stop about 30km before the Namibian border at a lovely river camp on the banks of the river. We'll be here for another two-night stop to enjoy the birdlife, fishing and beauty of this part of the Okavango. overnight on a luxury riverboat on the Okavango river, provided by Askiesbos Bush Camp.
I did have a miner mishap on my way into the camp going through some heavy sand I had to avoid hitting a cow and ended up swerving off into the bush, I have twisted mu ankle and knee but can rest up for the next 2 nights.
some photos are from the night before showing the everchanging sunset, magnificent.
