Frogs and birds

We took a few boat rides into the Okavango Delta including some time in a mokoro (canoe). From camp, here’s the beach (with fire pit put to good use each evening), dock and boat.

We headed out into the delta, carefully passed some hippos (just stay in the shallow water), got into the mokoros and learned to spot tiny frogs on the reeds.

We also saw birds. Lots and lots of birds. A disturbing number of birds. Let’s just say that the “white” tree in the one shot isn’t a white tree. It’s just the bird droppings… We start with an African Fish Eagle, some Grey Pelicans, and then just an idea of what I mean when I say lots of birds. There were dozens of trees like this.

If you’re thinking the sunset on the water while drinking a lovely glass of rose was nice, you’d be right.
