We slept in today until 7:00 this morning.

This will be our last game drive of the trip. Number 26. When I went to our bathroom to wash my face a found som poop in the basket on the counter. It was from gennit. A small wild cat. Came in during the night to mark its territory. It also peed in the sink. Or maybe he was saying good but we will miss you.

The bathrooms are enclosed but open on the top. You can sit on the toilet or shower and watch the stars. After breakfast off to the jeeps.

First think we saw was the Zeebras. There were two standing together I almost thought it was one with two heads.

We are sitting in a field watching a leopard scrunched down in the grass ever so slowly

Slinking towards a reedbuck that is just sitting there. I want to watch them but don’t want to see the kill….we left before it happened. Thank goodness.

I simply do not tire of the sight of the animals roaming freely in the wild. I’m not sure if I will ever be able to go to a zoo again.

I got a good shot of the lilac breasted roller. A short video of it in flight.

After lunch we had a lecture on the Okavango Delta. The trials and tribulations of man living in harmony with the animals. Issues one would not think about. The trouble between the domestic animals like cattle and the wild ones.

The hoofing mouth disease that the cattle got from the Cape buffalo to the lions killing them and on and on.

In the afternoon we went out on the Makuros .

The canoes used to navigate the delta. Similar to the ones in Venice with the Polers.

The ones we were in were made of fiberglass.

But originally they were dug our makoros made from the sausage trees.

The ride was so smooth and peaceful. The view of things from that level was amazing.

There was a tiny from on a reed.

We stopped for our sundowner. The polers. All young men pulled a Makuros out of the water turned it over and made a bar. They were funny guys. One of the guys showed us how to make a snare to catch a small animal. We really enjoyed our sundowner on that little island.

I simply cannot express the feeling I had when the elephants crossed directly in front of us.

To watch the progression. Then finally they all go surrounding the babies as the cross. It was surreal.

This was our last night in camp. Cocktails dinner and then the entertainment of course.

Troy said no. So we did nothing. I was going to sing a song for them but couldn’t muster the courage to do it alone. The rest of the group did some silly songs. Hokey pokey…

Our last night in a tent in the Bush. I will miss it.
