It was now September 2nd and we were on our way. First we returned to the Johannesburg airport and got on an “Air Link” plane to Maun, a very small town in the middle of nowhere. There we waited for another plane, an 8 seat plane that would take us to the OKAVANGO DELTA, where the Abu Camp was located. It was about an hour flight. Mind you at every airport we had to fill out papers, and all passports and health papers [Covid tests] were checked. We finally got on this very small plane and we were on our way. The pilot was a young man named LOUIE, a good omen! From the air it all looked brown and dry below with narrow rivers and bodies of water here and there. It is the dry season until end of October. It was fascinating to see. We finally landed on this single air strip and out jeep and guide, Joe, was waiting for us. He arrived early to make sure there were no animals on the runway! Before going to camp Joe took us for a ride through the BUSH!! The animals were popping up here and there….we were on our way!
Sounding wonderful so far/ looking forward to reading all about it
