Camping in the Okavango Delta

What I Saw:

Today I saw some giraffe, hippo, zebra, and wildebeest in the Okavango Delta.  I saw a hippo pool with hippos in it.

My Favorite Part of the Day:

My favorite part of the day was swimming in the delta.  I swam to the deep area.

What I Learned Today:

The delta is 19,000 km2.  4 of the Big 5 are there, and the rhino is missing.  We rode in a makaro, also called a dug out canoe.  The people who drive the canoe are called polers.  I learned how to pole.  The delta is an inland delta, this means it doesn’t go to the ocean.  I saw lots of hippos in a pool.
