After a wonderful lunch we setttled into our terrific tents, freshened up and headed for afternoon tea before our sunset boat excursion on the Delta. We headed for the pier to pick up two couples who would become safari compatriots for the next few days - Bob and Sandy Somlo of London and Bob and Abby Fink of New York City. Our senses of humor melded perfectly and made for a most enjoyable time. The first afternoon on the Okvango was largely one of scenic beauty, extraordinary birdlife and our first red lechwe (swimming deer) sighting. The sunset was stunning as we enjoyed our favorite libations brought on board for sundowners. Returning to Jacana, our new friends received the singing welcome...which we could hear in the distance as we were approaching the camp. There was something magical about hearing African song in the distance as the sun was setting on this wonder of the world! Enjoyed our first outdoor shower before cocktails around the bonfire and a scrumptous dinner on the second floor dining room hosted by Clinton. The stars were brilliant as we headed to our tents for a marvelous nite's sleep complete with a Delta lullaby by a wildlife chorus.!
