Team Honey badgers were the first group to go on
R&R. We were picked up from the site
on Sunday morning and driven up north to the Khwrai Sanctuary Trust Reserve –
further up into the Okovango Delta.
Scott, our guide, picked us up in an open safari vehicle,
the tarmac road soon turned into gravel and we were on that for about 3 hours,
only Charlotte managed too sleep on the way!
When we arrive at our campsite, we thought we had just turned
off the track to look at elephants knocking seed pods out of a tree, we were
about 5 metres from it when Scott told us this was our home for the next three
days. In total we went on four safaris –
2 in the evening and 2 really early in the morning.
We were really fortunate to see a huge range
of animals, from lions to zebras, wild dogs (very rare), hippos, crocodiles …. The
list goes on! Scott told us a lot about
the animals and how they migrate, hunt and live. We were especially pleased to see a fellow
honey badger, which went on to terrorise the next camp along the road.
We were pampered with good local food and matresses, showers
and not having to do any work!
It was good to return to Boro well rested and fed, rwady to
get back to work on site and see the rest of the group.
