I flew in my first small plane today!

For an hour, five of us joined our pilot (who looks like he’s about 12 years old AND is an amazingly competent pilot!) to view the Okavango from above.

The flight was smooth and easy.

The photography wasn’t.

I tried to capture what I saw which was impossible from the plane’s window and with the plane’s speed.

I know I saw elephants, hippos, cape buffalos, and wildebeests…

After a bit, it was best to put my camera down and just enjoy the scenery and take in the majesty of the Okavango.

Ready for takeoff.

The neighborhood surrounding the airport.  Some of the homes seem similar in size to sheds back home.

Textures, colors, and variety:  mesmerizing landscape.

Hippos?

Elephants.

One of many herds of Cape Buffalo.

Elephants?  Cape Buffalo?  Who knows?!  🤣

Safely back on ground.
