3 day/2 night bush camping in the Okavango delta, one of the highlights so far! We packed the boats with all the camping and cooking equipment needed and a small bag each for ourselves and were transferred onto mokoros (dug-out canoe) to a campsite. No electricity no running water therefore no showers and no toilets. KT a local guide took us on a bush walk, we saw elephants and zebra about 15 meters way which was amazing, being on foot is a very different experience to the safety of our truck, there was no fencing around where our tents were either so they were free to roam, but luckily didn't. We took a swim in the delta on the second day and felt alot cleaner for it, later that day we took the mokoros out and spotted hippos in the water, the same water we swam in, only Africa's second biggest killers, mosquitoes being the first!! Oops.
On the last evening the locals sang and danced for us, we all joined in and some of our group had there own party tricks to show them which I think they loved, at one point we were all doing the limbo round the camp fire, best evening so far, magical!
