And for three days I was in the Okavango Delta. Some of us left the truck, took a mokoro (canoe) and went into the Delta. Each mokoro had two people plus a poler in back.

Jenny. And we're off!

We floated through the delta for a few hours and got to an island were we set up camp.
For three days we swam in the delta, went on nature walks, sat by the camp fire and roasted marshmallow (and ate a ridiculously huge meaty meal), and the last night the polers showed us some of their traditional dances and songs. Then, after they were done, they said "your turn!". So 18 of us overlanders did the hokey pokey. And I led everyone in the 'Boom chicka boom' song from when I was a camp counselor. Everyone loved it!

I also tried poling:
No more university for me! New career path: poling.
The delta was so clean that we could drink the water. It was a bit green but perfectly safe:
On the way back from an amazing time.
After we got back to camp we did an scenic flight over the delta and saw just how big it was.
