Entering the Famed Okavango Delta... by Helicopter!
I don't get this experience every day. I feel like my drone is only slightly smaller than this helicopter. It was an amazing view. As we flew I could see the arid, desert environment around Maun, give way to the lush green seasonal swamps and rivers of the Okavango Delta. Today our safari across Africa, has culminated into a trip to one of Africa's great wilderness locations. We started the day in the buzzing metropolis of Johannesburg, but left the city life behind after a short one-hour flight to Maun, Botswana. This is the typical jumping off point to get into the famed Okavango Delta. However, we were not going to do the normal bush plane ride. Today I had something special set up. We were led out to two small helicopters, loaded up with our bags, and set out on a scenic flight into the wild.
