After the saltpan we enter Maun at the southside of the okavango delta. We stay at a Drifters campsite  on a bank of the Boteti river . It has been a dry river for many years but last year suddenly new water arrived. You can take a canoe  for a small trip. We see storks  and flamingo’s  on the banks. And again we enjoy a beautiful sunset .

In the afternoon we go for a walk to a village in the neighbourhood, Chanoga (= end of the river) . With guide Moesiko  we walk into the village . There is plenty of space between the houses ! The houses are made of cow-dong, empty cans, wooden pooles and a roof made of reed. . In the end they will be deserted by humans and will be used as a stable .

Near the city hall the baobab tree stands proudly  there is also the water supply . The civil servants live in stone houses . In the end it is more convenient than the traditional way of living. Chris plays some football with the locals . On the way back we almost lost two of the aussies. Luckily for them there are no dangerous animals around because (as someone stated): “Predators hunt for the old and the weak”.

We don't see much of Maun itself. What we see doesn't seem very attractive .
