Botswana Summer Encounter - 2015

This Exploration reveals the life-filled summer season of Botswana, in prime areas where few people travel. Beginning at the "petrified" river valley of Deception Valley in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the sporadic summer rains cause wildlife to migrate into the desert valleys in large numbers. The always-fertile green islands of the Okavango and its crystal-clear waterways are one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the planet while the diverse and wildlife-rich Linyanti and Chobe River systems are essential compliments to the Delta. The journey ends appropriately at the world-famous Victoria Falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River.
