Day Thirty    Moremi Park

A day in Moremi is always a highlight. This is my seventh time in the park and it rarely disappoints. It is considered one of the great game parks in Africa.

 

We left the Sedia Hotel on time but with rain threatening for the first time for the whole trip. As soon as we left the tar road and we were on gravel it started to rain. Not much but enough to be concerned on how the tracks would be inside the park. However after we cleared the main gates the rain all but stopped. We proceeded to take a southern track on the advice of Park Rangers because cats had been sighted there during the last few days but no luck. By the time we drove around for a few hours I realize that we are going to be late for lunch that was pre-arranged. It was then a rush through the jungle but we made it. Lunch was great and I am not sure people realize the logistics of feeding 27 people in the bush.

After lunch we started back but needed to go over third bridge that required some deep water crossing. At times the water was two feet deep in places but we all made it in grand style. It was actually the high lite of the day as in the end the game viewing was not at its best.

 

Another reason to come back!
