Botswana & Victoria Falls - Nov 2025

We are back from a wonderful trip across Botswana and Victoria Falls!

The change of seasons and excellent early rains have brought out an abundance of life. Game viewing had its challenging moments, but the diversity and reward of this time of plenty remind me that the early green season is my best time of year on safari!

I had fantastic guests that I was hosting and guiding on behalf of Classic Escapes. They were a group of 14 guests from Chattanooga and the surrounding areas in Tennessee, USA. Our adventure started out in the Mother City, before we headed up north to the deeper corners of the Makgadikgadi, Okavango and Chobe of Botswana, before making our way across to end off at Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River.

We ended the trip seeing some incredible areas and nature, and a lot of wildlife too! Almost 300 species of birds, 46 mammals, 12 species of frog, 4 snakes and all sorts of other wildlife. We also managed to raise funds for the Chief and school in Khumaga village (in the Makgadikgadi) to get and additional laptop and printer. We learnt about the wildlife
