First stop on our adventure in Botswana -- Jacana Camp. But I should set the stage by telling you how we arrived there. Just imagine 17 hour flight from D.C. to Johannesburg. Overnight rest. Early a.m. three hour flight from Johannesburg to Maun, From Maun, charter flight to airport (well, airport way over sells it...air strip in the middle of nowhere with no terminal, no restrooms, no buildings is a more acturate picture.) Hour flight on 12 seater plane, picked up trucks, drove another hour, transferred bags and travelers to boat and cruised the Okavango Delta for an hour to reach Jacana.
Can you say, "Thank God we made it." Pretty much how I was feeling.
Jacana, is a beautiful water camp. Incredible birds, antelopes, and even some large game like elephants. Peace and tranquility will be the lasting memories from Jacana, along with a very special ceremony arranged and prepared by the staff for George and I, as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. More of that to come. First some Jacana Camp images of a few beautiful birds. Crane, African Fish Eagle, Crane, Pied Kingfisher in flight and at rest (bottom.)
