Tour Day 3 – Maun
As you travel from the Kalahari towards Maun, you will notice the landscape change slightly, as you approach more fertile lands. After arrival, you can pick up any supplies and prepare for your 2 night/3 day excursion into the Okavango Delta. We recommend you buy a 5 litre bottle of water to take with you into the Delta, this should be sufficient to use as drinking water but also for cleaning purposes.
It’s another early rise, of course… you know, I’m beginning to think it’s mandatory for tours to have ridiculously early morning starts.
Actually, we have a long drive today and we’re trying to get it finished early so there’s more time for activities. And considering one of these activities is a plane-ride over the Okavango Delta, Eric and I are okay with the early morning wake-up.
We arrive in Maun just in time to catch the flight and boy, is the sleep deprivation worth it – what an experience!!!
The flight is 45 minutes of amazing Delta scenery and animal viewing. It provides a great opportunity to really understand the enormity and complexity of the Okavango Delta network, which is the largest in-land delta in the world.
It’s also a wonderful prelude to our upcoming mokoro trip.
I’m just fake puking in this picture, but by the end of the flight I’m actually not feeling too well… small plane + strong winds = queasy tummy.
