Our welcome to the Okavango DeltaWe traveled back to Botswana today, but now further south to the Okavango delta. On the trip from the airstrip to our camp we came upon a herd of zebra, giraffe, and Tsessebe antelope, the fastest of the antelope.
In the evening we went for a game drive and saw briefly 2 serval cats roaming the grass, a rare sight we've heard. We saw a bunch of birds all making a racket and came upon a puff adder snake. For sunset, the palins were filled with zebra and wildebeest in the distance. After dark, we used a searchlight to look for nocturnal animals, but succeeded only in scaring some hippos.
Wildebeest and zebra
And right after sunset, the temperatures drop from the 70's to what will be the high 40's in the morning. We learned to layer our clothes.
