An early game walk

We went on a game walk at 5:45. You have the biggest change of seeing any game, because the animals are still active. It was really nice, we saw lots of Giraffes running, you could feel the ground
shaking! Two male elephants in a fight, you could hear the sound of the tusks hitting each other. A game walk is so much cooler than a game drive, you’re just walking around, while there can be an
elephant or lion just footsteps away. We also saw some zebra’s and lion(tracks). The game walk took about three ours, very long time to walk on an empty stomach, the breakfast we had when we got
back, tasted very very good!! In the afternoon we headed for a place in the river where it’s a little deeper so you can take a swim (don’t think about the fact that there are hippo’s and
crocodile’s living in this same water). Ceen had a very handsome private poler called Lou, and he was very proud of himself that he kept up with the other polers. The water was refreshing and feels
good when you haven’t had a shower for two days. When we got back, Lou played some soccer with a few polers. It’s impressive to see these guys walking barefoot on this hard ground covered with
rocks and broken pieces of reed. The soccer ended in a tie and a Lou covered with dirt. At the end of the afternoon we went for a sunset cruise on the Okavango. At one point we ran into a hippo,
playing in the water. These animals are huge and very dangerous. You feel kind of fragile in a Mokoro, that’s really low on the water. The polers were very careful and registered every move of the
hippo. It was a beautiful sight, the hippo jumped out of the water several times. We were there for about twenty minutes, then turned around heading back to the camp. The sunset was a beautiful sight
from the Mokoro. We enjoying the last night in Okavango Delta, an unforgettable experience.
