This months picture was taken by Ulrich Rosenbauer from Germany. Ulrich took this picture in Savuti of the Milky Way whilst travelling on the Botswana Wildside BT14 camping tour. Just shows you what it can look like in the Botswana National Parks without man made light polution..

Great picture Ulrich!!

Zandre having just returned from his first LM22 Trade Route had this to share... This is a wonderful tour stretching over 5000 kilometers trough the South Eastern Parts of Africa. This tour is surely not for the faint hearted but instead for the adventurer. There is canoeing on the lower Zambezi, snorkeling in the Lake Malawi and experiencing true wild nature on foot in the infamous South Luangwa National Park.

Stephanie has just returned form a Cape To Vic Grand Explorer CVag21 and visited Etosha National park and had the fllowing to share with us.. Etosha is Namibia’s biggest national park and well known for its excellent game viewing due to the vast plains and sought after waterholes. The park gets its name from the large pan that covers over 20 % of the whole park. In the dry winter months the animals around the waterholes are plentiful and there is always a good amount of action to be seen.

On this tour we get to spend a whole day in the park game driving and since it is the first game drive on this tour, the excitement of everyone is usually pretty high at breakfast already. There is just so much this place has to offer and you never know what you come across. Standing in line at Anderson Gate and waiting for the gate to open gave everyone time to open their windows, prepare their camera and put on their many layers of clothing. Because the best way to experience a game drive is to use all your senses: sight, hearing, smell …

Wouter on his last ZBa16, a tour that travels through large parts of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana had this to share. My clients had a great experience on a 2-night trip into the most beautiful wetland system of Africa: The Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. I have done this Okavango trip many many times now, but I am still always excited to go as every trip is different and has something unique to offer. You never know what is going to happen, but you always know something spectacular is going to happen. This trip, what I will remember for a very long time, is the many excellent Elephant sightings we had.
