The journey to the Okavango Delta
 | ||
| Headed out in a new truck |
 |
| After traveling through the bush and over rocky roads we passed a village |
 |
| The mokoros (boats) and the Polers were waiting to take us further into the Delta |
 |
| The polers worked hard |
 |
| We relaxed |
 |
| Our first glimpse of elephants. |
 |
| Our camp spot for two nights |
 |
| Our camp |
 |
| The late afternoon walk ...we saw giraffe |
 |
| And they saw us! |
