The Okavango Delta in Botswana is an extraordinary place. Before heading out on the dugout mekoro canoes to spend a couple of days camping there, we had the opportunity to take a sunset flight over the beautiful delta. Just a short distance from the town of Maun there is such an expanse of colour, timelessness and peace.
The sun was low, sometimes shining in my eyes, often my photos are not the best, with glare and reflection in the windows. I could see the shining blue waters snaking around the green islands, I could see hippos in the water, giraffes and elephants roaming the islands. I began to get so excited at the prospect of travelling into the delta and spending a couple of days there.
We visited the Okavango Delta as part of a longer safari with Sunway Safaris. They have a great choice of trips throughout southern Africa.
Here’s a little video of the flight, and you can scroll down to see my still photos:
Here are some of my photos, I hope you enjoy them.
