On Thursday morning, we set off to the mokoros. We saw many hippos and crocodiles. For some students, these were very close as the mokoros were made out of fibre glass and we were not near land. But after a short while everyone felt calmer as the mokoros were very relaxing. As well as animals there were also beautiful landscapes.
We soon arrived at the campsite, the Okavango delta guides had set up tents for us all. Once we were settled the chef had made us lunch; it was corn beef hash and a lot of people enjoyed it. At 3:30 we set off in two separate groups to do a safari guided walk. Both groups saw a couple of animals and watched the sun set. It was amazing. To get back to camp, we went back on the mokoros whilst the sun was setting.
In the evening, we gathered as a group around the fire and played a game of uno. Some people got very competitive! As the night went on, a handful of people spoke to the tour guides and found out interesting information about their lives. We had a lovely vegetable curry made from the chef.
We set off at 6:30 in the morning to watch the African sunrise whilst on the second safari guided walk. Once we arrived back to camp we had our breakfast and headed back onto the mokoros and returned to the riverside hotel campsite.
