The flight itself was really enjoyable and gives you a different perspective of the delta that we did not get elsewhere on the tour. We sighted a range of game and birds from the plane including views of an African fish eagle flying below us. But the best bit was when our pilot dived low over a lake then pulled up at the last moment and then again low over some trees and back up again! What an adrenaline rush! We also buzzed the other group in their plane at one point. On the horizon we could see a big storm and encountered a bit of turbulence. Whilst our group was fine, two of the guys in the other plane were not so well when they landed. 15th November- Maun to HomeAfter a leisurely breakfast we just had some free time before heading to Maun airport. I managed to get a couple of shots of the resident African paradise flycatcher but that was about all. Our flight was due to leave at 3pm but we didn’t leave until 6pm owing to a smoking generator and a new plane being flown in to replace it. So souvenir shopping in Jo’burgh had to be cancelled as we made a made dash for our connecting flight home (others with earlier connections were not so lucky). We arrived back at Heathrow at 6am on the 16th.So that's it. But if you're really keen you can have a look here for even more piccies:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8773601@N03/sets/72157609198993732/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8773601@N03/sets/72157609198993732/</a></blockquote>
