Botswana Safari

Travelled to Botswana in October for a camping safari organised by fellow artst Pip McGarry and run by the Elephant Trails Safari Company (www.elephanttrails.com). We travelled from Maun to Moremi in the Okavango Delta, then on to the Khwai Conservancy area, Savute, Chobe River and ending at Victoria Falls.

Game viewing was exceptional with amazing views of African hunting dogs, cheetah, elephant, lioness with cub in a tree, and a most spectacular time watching a very co-operative leopard hunting and posing.

Will be starting on the paintings shortly!
