DAY 2, LEG 6 - Walvis Bay to Maun
Originally I was going to fly directly to Victoria Falls but having seen the route would take me directly over Maun, and having missed any view of the Okavango Delta due to the weather on the first day, I decided to stop in Maun and make the short hop to the falls low level having refuelled. Maun is the main tourist destination in Botswana but has retained the traditional markets which draw local farmers into the town despite recent rapid growth from tourists visiting the Okavango Delta.
Departing Walvis Bay in 4300m visibility. Turning left over the town itself.
Leaving the fog behind and heading inland over the Namib-Naukluft Park towards the capital city, Windhoek.
Passenger view of the Namib Desert.
Arrived at Maun moments before a thunderstorm moved overhead! May have to delay the departure to Victoria Falls for a while...
