This past week six of my team members went on a mini vacation to the Okavango Delta. The Delta was a perfect change of pace for us and turned out to be a really relaxing stay at Audi Camp. We did a little wining and dining as well as a horseback trip through the bush and a day-long Mokoro trip. The campgrounds were beautiful and peaceful, we each stayed two to a tent and enjoyed strange animals noises during the nights. The night sky is a sight to be seen in the Delta – I don’t think I’ve seen that many stars in my lifetime.
We left on an overnight Gabs train to Francistown and then boarded a bus for another 7 hour drive. We arrived at Audi Camp a day and half later.

Zebra we saw on the Mokoro trip
Morkoro boat day trip - the highlight of this boat ride was when we heard a hippo's footsteps from behind the bush...we never did spot the hippo but did get the chance to see several zebra's and a huge giraffe. The second higlight was when our Motswana 'poler' began to sing the theme song to Lion King as he poled us down the delta.Video of our relaxing Mokoro trip
We are now back in Gabs and will continue to volunteer in Old Naledi and Mokolodi until our next trip to Zambia/Zimbabwe to visit Victoria Falls in about two weeks. Happy to be at home at the university :)
