After four nights at Camp Moremi our next stop was Camp Okavango, with another set of great guides and staff
At this camp there are no Landcruisers. If you walk, it’s with an unarmed guide, since no guns are allowed
The mokoro rides are with a guide that moves you through the reeds with a large pole
They had powerboats just like at Camp Moremi, and took us to the islands in the area for our walking tour
Our rooms were large, luxurious, comfortable, and with a huge bathroom and shower. The shower was so large we could have had a party in it!
Our veranda
The well stocked bar, open 24 hours
One of the areas to relax at mid-day during the heat, and also after dinner
There was Internet access, but no WiFi. We told them never to get WiFi, this way people could interact instead of putting their noses in a phone.
The location of the campfires and star gazing after dinner
Dinner for 15, with a few guides and staff added in
Another camp with outstanding cuisine
How our meals were introduced each night. This night we were having broccoli as our vegetable, with an mmmm of approval from the rest of the cooks and staff
After our meal announcement it was time for a song and a lap before eating
Speaking of song and dance, even when they surprised us with brunch in the bush there was singing and dancing
After our mokoro rides it was time for drinks
Remember these guys? They are still not smiling as they get our sundowner drinks ready.
And more singing and dancing after drinks
And more singing and dancing after drinks
And a little more singing and dancing

Dominic has rhythm!
Grota always had a smile, even when she was delivering water her way
