Following an early breakfast, we pack up the camp and continue our journey to Lake Ngami, stopping for a bush picnic lunch en-route. We spend our time on combi watching the plentiful sightings of landscapes and some villages along the way. Lake Ngami is an endorheic lake in Botswana, north of the Kalahari Desert. It is seasonally filled by the Taughe River, an effluent of
the Okavango River system flowing out of the western side of the Okavango Delta. Spending our second night camping in Lake Ngami, we explore the surrounding wilderness on birding during the day. This is purely a birding destination, though because visitors here are really very rare there are no tracks or pathways (for 4WDs or walkers) designed for bird-watchers.
