Botswana National Parks: Photo Essay of Moremi Game Reserve

Botswana is a country that is easy to fall in love with.

If nothing more than for the vast Botswana sky.

It is an unbelievable experience to spend all day high on adrenaline in search of wild animals. You quickly realize that you don’t have to search hard in that they are everywhere to be found in the national parks of Botswana. Your heart skips a beat with every elephant butt sticking out of a set of trees, and your heart stops when the animals turn to look directly at you as you sit snapping photos of them.

At night, when you are done driving for the day and your adrenaline has calmed, open a cold beer, sit at your campfire and look up. You are in the middle of the bush, with no city lights to dull the stars’ brightness. This will be one of your favorite memories from your self-drive safari. When the night falls, there is an overwhelming peace in the bush. Although all of the animals you had spent the day looking for are still out there, when you reach your campfire you feel safe, relaxed and blown away by the millions of stars shining above you.

    Beautiful photos. A self-drive safari sounds fun. Is it cheaper than a group safari?
