Botswana

In May 2008 we visited Botswana. We stayed at two camps in the Kwando concession, first Little Kwara in the Okavango Delta and then Lebala in the Linyanti area.

These are great, I know how tough it was this green and early with the grasses being so tall and the abundance of water in seasonal pools. I had to work very hard for good photo opportunities.

Kwara always delivers for me as it seemed to for you. My favourite area is the Tsum Tsum area. You probably visited the area, it is where the short grass plains are. Not to mention the three cheetah brothers and a number of solitary females. Still, just a few months till I hopefully go back for another Kwando experience this October.

Just a couple of questions, did you get to see the young cheetah cubs? I witnessed the mother moving den sites when they were about 10 days old. When I flew through the next week, she had moved them on and they could not track them through the long grass.

How have the floods effected concession? The heavy local rainfall and early push meant I was already driving round the airstrip every drive. This was a certainly a rare occurrence!

Can you remember the male lion at Lebala, is he one of the new males to have moved into the area? He does not look like a Selinda male, but could be one of the four brothers....

Anyway, I will stop going on, really enjoyed the cheetah, butterfly and landscape shots.

Cheers
Russell
