BOTSWANA, DAY 3
An owl & African sunsets. The morning drives are generally quite quiet, and most of the action tends to happen at first light. However, thanks to the guide, we saw the most insanely camouflaged owl. Even with binoculars, the guide had to help me find it! Moreover, Botswana is not only an absolute treat but also an education!
THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE AN AFRICAN SUNSET
BOAT TRIP
Since our lodge is within the Okavango Delta, we were able to take a boat trip instead of our afternoon drive. Consequently, this gave us an opportunity to see a different variety of wildlife. We saw birds, crocodiles, and elephants mingling in the waterways.
RATINGS….
- Botswana was given independence from Britain in 1966.
- It is approximately the size of France, but has 2 million compared to France’s 66.9 million.
- The border between Botswana and Zambia is just 150 meters, making it the shortest border in the world.
AFRICAN SUNSETS
Although we didn’t get to see the ‘big exciting animals,’ it offers a completely different environment compared to what the drives provide. Additionally, a special mention must go to the African sunsets; there is no sunset in the world like an African one!
After our usual routine, we were able to enjoy our Gin and Tonic in the middle of the Okavango Delta during sunset. I suppose this is what dreams are actually made of!
However, we were brought right back down to earth when we were told that a Hyena was roaming around the camp that night.
