As I write this, I'm inside the tent of our camper, listening to a natural symphony: tree frogs, which here seem to tinkle like wind chimes, crickets, miscellaneous birds hooting, whistling and squawking. And out in the water, deep breathing sounds and once in a while a sound like something huge stepping out of a bath - hippos! The river is only a stone's throw away, but I won't be throwing anything, or even leaving the tent. We've been warned to stay inside if we hear hippos grazing - makes sense to me!
The moon is full, so it's magical, just as it was on the Okavanga at Ngepi Camp the past 2 nights. These campsites are beautiful, well set up and cheap, with interesting travelers to chat with, and lush rivers, forests and grasslands to gaze at and explore a bit by boat. Even though we're further north, the nights are cooler, so sleeping is easier, especially with the night's music all around.
