Okavango

I stayed at Kwetsani, which is sited on a smallish island.
Although the island is home to elephants, lions, baboons, impala, red lechwe, kudu, bushbuck mongooses and even some cape buffalo,
most of our safaris were by land rover on the nearby Hunda island...
an interesting 15 minute motorboat ride away.
We did go on one mokoro safari, but the water levels at Kwetsani were too low for any more.

Hunda is much a larger island and thus has a greater quantity and variety of wildlife.
Unfortunately, we couldn't do any night drives on Hunda due to the danger of encountering hippos etc as we were coming and going on the water in the dark.
