Our last night on Chief ISland. On the Okavango Delta. We have another game drive tommorow morning then a puddle jumper from Maun to Johannesburg then Capetown.
NUmerous wild dogs, Lions on both drives today and Spotted Hyennas. Two adult females and thier young male cubs have entered the campsite. Looks like they had been in a battle as they had numerous injuries. We were 3 feet from these beautiful wild animals. Our Island has no fences and animals cross the Delta into our campsite.
The wildlife is better than I imagined. At night, our tent is filled with all kinds of movement and cries from the wild.
It's a strict 'never walk alone policy' here during the night. Totally isolated and unimanagable.
Tonight, we're having a traditional Boma dinner. Kinda like an ol USA BBQ but in the wild with a fire to keep the animals at bay. Food is cooked over a wood fired grill.
We have eaten everything from warthog to Crocs to impalas and other delishus critters.
The borders are unfenced and the experience leaves you awed.
"Sanctuary Retreats" are bar none the BEST holiday (vacation) one can take.
The traveling part does suck but I'd do it all again w/o question.
Many many stories to share.
Goodnight for now,
Manny
