Our itinerary stated we had a morning game drive in Xaxanaka and then would drive back to Maun "enjoying the emptiness". Having seen lions the previous night 10 minute’s drive from our camp I had hoped we'd at least pay one final visit to them or drive some of the trails looking for other wildlife. But no, we were up at 05.30 only to be driven at speed straight out of the park, leaving the south gate at 08.40 and arriving in Maun at 10.00. At which point our guide left us at the hotel and didn't return until later that afternoon for our scheduled pleasure flight over the okavango delta. None of us were happy about that.So with nothing else to do, after a much needed bath I had a wander around the grounds of the Sedia, spotting a pair of slender mongoose as well as a western striped sand snake chasing a lizard (boy are they ever fast!). I also took advantage of the free time to send some more postcards.  Just outside my room a pair of swamp boubou performed their courting duet.</blockquote>
