After five days in the Kalahari, we took a small airplane to Xigera Camp,in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Needless to say, the landscape is drastically different and the views from the plane were spectacular. It's especially thrilling to be able to spot herds of elephants from that height. All of the bush pilots have been very competent and pleasant, but Felix here was by far the most exacting and colorful. When he learned that I was once a pilot, he very generously offered to let me take the controls, but in the interest of all, I declined. It's been way too many years.
