DAY 13 - MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE
8 July  2004

The Okavango River rises in the Angolan highlands and flows over 1000 miles, passing through Namibia before entering Botswana and forming the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is unique, as it is the largest inland delta in the world, instead of flowing into the sea, the annual flood of fresh water flows inland, spreading over 15 000 sq km of the Kalahari sand in a maze of lagoons and channels.

In the centre of the Okavango Delta is the Moremi Wildlife Reserve (Botswana), a 3 000 sq km paradise. Proclaimed a wildlife reserve by the Tswana people in 1963, Moremi is undoubtedly one of the world's most pristine wilderness areas. Moremi is a place of lily-covered wetlands, grass plains and forests, where even at the busiest time of year you're likely to be the only spectators at the most dramatic animal sighting.

Finally we all stayed in the WILDERNESS, and the group members were so kind to invite us for dinner and evening chat. It turned out that the group leader was Mike, the owner of our JUST DONE IT Landrover. What a coincident! At night I heard hyenas around us .... but still survived.
