The last week of game viewing in the western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve was once again nothing short of sensational.
There were so many highlights, but the biggest of them all was without a doubt seeing wild dog pups in our traversing area for the first time in more than seven years. The pack...
A Week in the Wilds of Mombo...
A safari report from Mombo camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta related by our guide extraordinaire, Grant Atkinson.
