Safari in northern Botswana and Zambia...
August is a good time of year for safaris in northern Botswana. At this time of year water levels are still quite high in the rivers, temperatures are quite moderate, and there are gatherings of wildlife around water sources in the drier areas. This report details our recent safari in northern Botswana...
Mombo lions and a famous leopard...
Our last afternoon game drive at Chitabe Camp was a great one… the camp manager, Dawson, called us in to a leopard sighting. A young male leopard was feeding on a baboon in a tree, so we spent the afternoon with him. He gave us lots of opportunities whilst up the tree, but just as the sun went...

We arrived back at Chitabe Camp, the fourth camp on our Digital Safari Workshop, and headed out on our first afternoon game drive to find two male lions who were resting.

Digital Safari-Male Lion at Kwetsani...

Digital Safari-Leopard at Chitabe...

She was a relaxed female leopard, beautifully perched in a dry acacia tree.

Chitabe Cheetah...
On a game drive out of Chitabe Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta we came across a female cheetah, obviously hungry and on the lookout for possible prey. We followed her in our game drive vehicle for some time and were rewarded with action when she chased down and killed an impala.

This will be my 15th safari in Botswana and I still cannot get enough of what I consider to be the finest adventure location anywhere....
