Okavango

Spring break has come and gone, and the program is officially half over. Kinda hard to believe. For break, we went up north to the Okavango Delta. Base Camp is in Maun, but we only spent a couple nights there. We were mostly camping in the Okavango Delta, as well as the Nxai and Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. It was fabulous. Here are some pix:

The most majestic tree ever- the Baobab
















More Baobabs

I'm having some trouble with all the pictures I want to post (and the formatting), so for now I'll also post this video:

That lion picture reminds me of a photo of Chris Idema in Alaska. You had to look closely to see the grizzly on the bank of the river where he was fishing. Cool photos. I'd love to hear more about the trip.
