Namibia - Day 11

We travelled further into the Caprivi region (the panhandle region of Namibia) and crossed the border from Namibia to Botswana. This requires forms to exit Namibia and forms to enter Botswana and an African-time wait at each crossing!

Along the way we saw: A herd of cattle: 

A dead cow being transported: 

A common form of transport. There are quite a few donkeys in this area.: 

Thatched roofed round houses which have a timber frame coated in mud or cow dung topped with a thatch of grass or reeds. They have to be maintained as the birds steal the grass: 

Woman carrying a watermelon on her head: 

We arrived at Swamp Stop on the Okavango River. 

A sausage tree at our campsite. Named because of the seed pods which on this particular variety of sausage tree look like a salami: 

 In the late afternoon we took a cruise in the Okavango River. The Okavango originates in Angola but can’t reach the sea so ends in a delta in the Kalahari desert! 

The first thing our guide showed us was the crocodile that lived on the banks of our campsite!  

Daylily: 

We saw crocodile and hippos at a distance. 

Stayed at Swamp Stop on the Okovango River with a crocodile below our campsite and hippos munching grass at night.
