From Guma Lagoon to Nunda River Lodge

The road between the two camps is quite interesting:  First, we had to cross that deep sand part between Guma Lagoon and Itsha13.  Then a well-potholed tar road to the borderpost at Mahembo, then a gravel road through the Mahango Game Reserve and then finally a good tar road to the entrance to Nunda.

The sun set over the Okavango River with our campfire visible nearby.

Through all our tours we never saw a place where the sunsets can beat those of this particular spot next to the Okavango at Nunda.  Here we are sitting next to the river at our campsite at Nunda with our campfire trying to match the colours of this magnificent sunset.

Tourists returning from a mokoro trip to the beautiful Popa Rapids.  Mokoros are hollowed-out tree trunks used by the locals for many years as boats.

Beware, there are thieves walking free at Nunda!  Inside that towel is a large stone they used o break the car's window and stole a laptop and cash.  Management told us it is our fault, since the laptop was visible on the front seat, thereby acknowledging that they cannot guarantee that their security can keep out crooks.  What a horrible incident - be aware, especially sites next to rivers which can be reached by silent mokoro.
