This was a brief two night resting stop. We stayed at a nice one-year old Cresta hotel just outside Maun, Botswana, so we were away from the congestion of the capital, but not exactly in the wildlife refuges. Becky and I were on our own for birding, and were under strict orders from our DH’s to not stray too far from the hotel, or get too close to the river (crocodiles). Even under those tight conditions we managed to see 35 species of birds, practically while standing in place! Kinda nice to just focus on birds in Africa without the distractions of mammals.
