Botswana Photography Safari

This will be our 3rd and final post for our Botswana safari. We began our Grand Teton/Yellowstone program tonight – look for posts from here in the next few days.

Be sure and start the Botswana Safari post from the beginning if you are just joining now. I will end with a few thoughts about the experiences we came home with. We felt so calm and peaceful there, the animals behave so differently away from lots of human activity. We could take our time and enjoy watching them without feeling we were intruding.

Botswana Photography Safari

This is our second post for the Botswana safari. Be sure to browse below to see leopards and others great creatures. As exciting as it is to see and photograph leopards and elephants up close and personal, there is so much delight in watching a heron stalk and catch a fish… a fish eagle perched high in a tree, able to do the same… or a beautiful lilac breast roller take flight…

Botswana Photography Safari

In August we traveled to Botswana to explore the vastness of the Okavango Delta. After visiting the Zimbabwe and Zambia sides of Victoria Falls, we entered Botswana – gradually getting deeper and deeper into a largely uninhabited region of Africa.

Elephants

Botswana is the land where we can see elephants close by as they come to visit the water, take mud and dust baths, and interact with each other. It is fascinating to watch and photograph them as they go about their lives, sometimes oblivious to our presence.
