Nxabega and the Okavango Delta 18-20/12/2009

Flew in from Sandibe between 18-20 December . Another tented camp but wild enough to have to be escorted at night to your tent because of the wildlife.
The Okavango was not fully flooded at the time of my visit
this was safer in the evening - animals can't climb stairs very well
Nxabega was a tented camp
note the mahogany flooring
in the evenings we had to be accompanied by an (armed) member of staff
that's my tent
