  • Carmine Bee Eaters in Botswana

    Africa

    Southern Africa! I have teamed up with Pangolin Photo Safaris and am thrilled to have two, small group, 10 Day trips to Southern Africa.

    We will spend 6 nights at the Pangolin Chobe Hotel in Botswana and 3 nights on board a private charter on their NEW Voyager II Houseboat out of Namibia. These trips were designed to take place during the Green Season for lush green backgrounds, peak bird activity and the possibility for baby animals and birds!
