Our last Safari evening
There are tiny channels everywhere - these are affectionately called Hippo and Elephant highways. They simply shove the vegetation aside as they plod their way through the waterways. It also means that you can technically stumble onto them while boating - it didn't happen to us, but we did see a Sitatunga ...Apparently a very rare sighting. We didn't think very much of this antelope looking thing in the reeds until our guide, Kay, hissed excitedly that it was very rare. And, of course, everyone whips out their cameras at the same time, and we manage to spook it.
The upshot: It ran away before we got a shot.
But Eugene did get a shot of Homo Erectus on the other boat! :) These are what the boats they use to explore the river look like.
The main river runs pretty darned fast, and the Okavango Deleta, by the way, is where Eugene accidently dropped his polariser for the camera. Some fish out there is looking through it and going "pretty colours" at the moment...Heh.
It was also our very last sundowners in the bush (very sad... It's such a great tradition).
Kaye laying out - with great ceremony - the G&Ts...
G&Ts in a row
Yummy!
We were gifted with a wonderful sunset too:
We'll leave it at this shot.
