SAFARI CENTRAL

October  30-November 13, 2011

This photographic safari workshop focuses on the amazing countries of Botswana and Zimbabwe led by Dana Allen and Special Guest Photographer Joe McNally.

This is a VERY special time of year in these regions, as it is the beginning of the summer season and the camps for this photo adventure have been specially chosen for the unique game behavior and climatic vistas at this time of the year.

We start our journey visiting Hwange National Park, famous for some of the most amazing elephant sightings anywhere in the world!  You will also have the privilege to also see some of the resident White Rhino who roam wild in these remote areas.

You will then travel across the boarder to the northern tip of Botswana,  traveling into the Linyanti along the Savute Channel.   For the last couple of decades, the Channel stopped flowing and became an unusual and productive ribbon of grassland that served as a feeding ground in the surrounding woodland for a wide variety of herbivores.  In 2008, the Savute Channel once more became a deep, clear waterway home to hippopotamus, crocodiles, and aquatic life with many varieties of waterbirds.

You will conclude your photo adventure into the heart of the Okavango Delta visiting the Vumbura Concession. The unique location offers both water and land activities, where a special activity such as traveling on Mokoros (dugout canoes) and traversing through the flood plains under the guidance of your poler is a true and unforgettable experience!

Lastly enjoy a spectacular photo tour of the heart and soul of Johannesburg, where Robin Binckes will take the group on a private and intimate tour of the many faces, culture, and history of the Soweto Townships.

Hi Brennan and Steve,

I wanted to write a few words about the highlight of our recent photo safari to Botswana.

How does one pick a particular highlight?!?  The whole trip was a continuation of highlights, from my first lioness sighting after arriving at Chitabe camp to the last night’s elephant herd in the Linyanti.

Between these bookends we sighted and tracked Wild Dogs.  Spent a whole day following an elusive leopard and finally found the leopard the next day.  I watched the parade of “swimming” lions.  Actually, they were wading as the water was only a few feet deep!  I also saw a lioness take her cub for a swim.  I photographed an Aadworlf at its den.  I took aerial photos from a helicopter.  I could go on and on, but here is my favorite scene…

At Selinda on the next to last night of the trip, we came across a pack of Wild Dogs devouring their victim (a kudu). A hungry lioness saw the dogs feeding and bounded through the shallow water to steal their prey. Along came a pack of hyenas who rout the lioness, in actually she just left without even a roar.  Out of the water comes a crocodile to survey the scene.  The croc left with a big splash without harming the hyenas. We had crossed the water hole to watch this all unfold.  Behind me in the bushes, watching as well, was a leopard who wanted no part of the action.  Unbelievable!

Of course, sharing these experience with my son…what more can I say ?!?!

Thanks for a trip of a lifetime!
