As pictured earlier our hot air balloon ride was phenomenal. However, not so for our dear new BFF’s- – their balloon ride ended in what the endearing pilot referred to as an ‘aborted landing’….-:)!!

Thank goodness they were all fine!! However, in one day our bush buddies experienced two Jeep rides, one hot air balloon ride with a crash landing, were emergency helicoptered off an island in Botswana as a result of the hot air balloon experience, had a jeep mishap with injuries, and then ultimately ended their day by joining us on a rather rough bush plane ride out of the Okavango Delta into the next tented camp in the Chobe area of Botswana. What a day for them…to say the least!!!

Thank goodness Steven, Beth, Mirian, Fernando, Kate and Luke all had their youth and sense of humor to survive a most challenging day in the African bush.

We all cheered to their survival of ‘ ‘lessons learned’ during a single day in the bush…❤️👍❤️!!

Toasts to a beautiful sunset and more African experiences to come….

Recapping our experiences in the Okavango Delta here are some highlights from our bush experience…

The Kadizora Camp…To The Mokoro….

A mokoro is a type of canoe commonly used in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. It is propelled through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole, . Fun to have the hippos sharing our water way….
