Sedia Riverside Hotel - Feeling Pink

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:53:20 +0100

The Pink Caravan has made a December visit to Sedia Riverside Hotel with 2 buses of Swedish travellers. They are a group of adventurers and holiday makers. First they plan their activities - game flights and trips into the Okavango Delta. Then they make merry.

With all the spirit of Christmas merrymakers they carry-on into the night - swimming, shooters, playing pool, singing and talking. There are at least 50 people in the group and everyone seems involved in the festivities. We wish them well on the remainder of their 5 country tour and hope they all have a Happy New Year!

Fish Eagle - Take Away Dinner

Done in split seconds! Here we have the Fish Eagle - high priest of the Okavango River, getting his lunch.

Maun, Botswana - Safari Capital of the Okavango Delta updated Wed May 5 2010 5:51 am CDT

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 18:53:06 +0200

From the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada to the edges of the Kalahari Desert, Botswana - quite a contrast. Here is some of the safari news, views, people and places that I find make up Maun - the center of life in Maun, Botswana. My best recommendation is to read the Maun Blog. Unfortunately, I cannot make a suitable feed to use on this page.

You will get an introduction to mobile safaris and the Okavango Delta - one of the world's great inland wetlands and Moremi Game Reserve. Come to Botswana for the safari experience - at it's best! Live your dream. Share it with your family or best friends. A birding paradise. Just outside the 'Gates of Eden...'

Safaring is believing. The wildlife and culture is waiting for you and me.

Annual Flood Graces Sedia

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:51:59 +0200

Annual Flood Comes Rushing Down Thamalakane River

First the Flood was starting to enter the Hippo Pool at the Old Bridge - 11:40 AM June 16th. Then it started to build-up. Soon you could see that the Flood was 'pushing.' By 4 PM that afternoon it was passing under the Old Bridge at about 1/2 cu. metres per second.

By 6:15 AM June sixteenth it passed by Sedia Riverside Hotel and was making its way quickly towards the new bridge in Maun. It was a day for children, adults, dogs, cows and donkeys - a day to celebrate on the malapo. Pula to everyone!
