African Safaris
It was our second day out driving in our open-air jeep in Botswana’s Kalahari Game Reserve when the raindrops started to fall. As we’d headed out that afternoon, the sky above us looked bright and sunny, but in the distance we could see dark clouds forming and the occasional lightning bolt.
Nature & Wildlife
Our Cessna was 5 minutes north of Maun, Botswana, when the landscape changed dramatically. Gone was the dry savanna scrub that had defined the Kalahari and so much of Botswana. In its place were the unmistakable signs of water.
Nature & Wildlife
It’s typically said that animal behavior is the result of biology and environment. The responses of wildlife are driven by the primal urges to survive and reproduce; or are triggered by internal or external cues, such as the appearance of a nearby threat.
African Safaris
A Botswana safari during the green season ticks all the right boxes: optimal wildlife viewing, stays in secluded and luxurious safari camps and opportunities to photograph Southern Africa at its most lush.
Nature & Wildlife
Across the animal kingdom, mothers “of all stripes” care for their offspring, playing a vital role in nurturing and protecting them, and teaching them essential skills. They also provide comfort and security, enabling young animals to thrive and reach maturity.
Travel Tales
Like many people I have always dreamt of traveling to Africa. After spending the last 15 years working in international development and conservation, I’ve had the wonderful opportunities to travel extensively in the Americas and in Asia, but never to Africa.
Nature Photography
If you’ve never considered a wildlife safari in Botswana, these photographs are sure to convince you! Botswana’s vast wilderness is home to a mosaic of healthy ecosystems that have sustained healthy wildlife populations since explorers first visited the African bush decades ago.
Travel Tales
Croc ahead! Our front boatman named C-Company signaled by pointing to the left riverbank – and a few of the paddlers up front noticed a long, black form slither quickly into the Okavango River. We immediately formed a single tight row of yellow kayaks behind our guide and sped past the beast’s entry site.
