#InLoveWithAfrica: The Raw Splendor Of The Okavango Delta

#InLoveWithAfrica: The Raw Splendor Of The Okavango Delta

AFKTravel recently launched a series called ‪#‎InLoveWithAfrica‬, which comprises a series of “love letters” to various African destinations, written by travel writers who are passionate about the continent. In this installment, Bridget Williamson dives deep into Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

“The Okavango Delta will suck you in to its raw splendour, colossalness, truly wild wildlife, and adrenaline-pumping unpredictability. Never have I been so on edge and alert, yet completely relaxed and adventurous as when we were on the island in the middle of the Delta. So adventurous, in fact, that I found myself following an elephant on foot, getting to within a meter of him. My heart was racing, but I was completely relaxed. Then there was the afternoon when we decided to go swimming in the Delta (this is illegal, so don’t try this yourself): we were splashing around in the playground of hippos and crocs and who knows what other dangerous animals without a care in the world.”
