To Okavango Delta

We start early for the drive back to the Kasane International Airport for our flight out to the Okavango Delta region in two Cessna Caravans. The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We land at the Khwai River Airport, which is a dirt airstrip.

We first head to the hippo ponds near the airport. The guides have set up a picnic lunch and then arranged for a short ride in dugout canoes on the ponds to look at the wildlife.

After the canoe ride there is a two and a half hour ride in the jeeps to our camp.

At this camp I saw the Yellow-billed Hornbill, which was the only species of hornbill that we hadn’t seen on this trip.

There was some time to rest outside the tent along the river, we finally saw the Red-billed Buffalo-Weaver, the bird that make the colonies of nests in baobab trees that we had been seeing.
