The Delta (Botswana)

I spent the last three days in a remote location in Botswana called “Okavango Delta”.  This is a beautiful place where the Okavango River dumps into a swamp. We got to ride on “Macoros” which are little canoes.  We were guided by Bushman from a local village who took us through the swampland to a remote location to campout. The Macoro is similar to the Gondolas they use in Venice, Italy. You can see a video below that was filmed while we were aboard. In the Delta we saw a lot of animals like a big group of wild Elephants, Zebras and Buffaloes. The Macoro rides were really cool but at one point we had hundreds of bugs crawling all over us as we traveled through the swampland.
