First day in Moremi Game Reserve (delta area)

Mon 14th June
Today was basically one big game drive. We started from camp at about 8am and arrived at the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve at about 10am, then drove through the Okavango delta lands for 7 hours with incredible amounts of water next to really dry desert brush and grasslands. It is difficult to explain what a fantastic day it has been and the number of encounters we have made, you will just have to see the photos and know that all of the animals were within 25m but most were within 10m, it has just been incredible. All I will do here is list what we have seen.
Loads of Impala (a deer like creature with a stripey bottom and oversized ears); some Kudu, (a larger stripey deer); a Topi, (the fastest antelope, but too far away to photograph); baboons, two huge troops and one single male sifting through the elephant dung for the undigested seeds; elephants, several solitary male and a huge breeding herd (maybe 25 females with young) who were munching at the thick brush; giraffes, several soiltary females and a Jenny (this is the official term for a group of giraffe - stick that in your next pub quiz!); an incredibly colourful Saddle Beaked Stork; A Kori Bustard (the largest flying bird); an Opu (a tiny little bird with a colourful crest); loads of Guinea Fowl (in mating conflicts); a Hammerkop (a hammer headed duck); Wart Hogs, (who eventually ran away with their tails in the air) ; Hippos (4 in a pool of water about 2m deep); zebra, we lunched with a large herd wandering close to the truck ; Jacana (a chocolate brown moorhen type bird also known as the Jesus Christ bird because it seems to walk on water; and, if you can believe it, a small herd of lions who hunted a herd of zebra and one wildebeast as we watched. The lions were unsuccesful but the dust and the noise of the stamping of hooves was awesome. We can't believe how lucky we have been. Then at 5pm we arrive in camp, just a spot under a large Sausage Fruit Tree, and the support guys have set everything up and water was on for a shower, which is a bucket strung up in a tree and a special attachment at the bottom with a shower head; you just stand in a tent underneath.
The loo is in another tent where they have dug a hole and a chair with a loo seat attachment sits above the hole - I haven't braved it yet!
