Botswana: In the Green Season
with Evalyn Bemis Saturday November 29, 2025 at 5pm
We have enjoyed traveling in several countries in Africa over the past 15 years, from Namibia to Kenya, but have always been there outside of the rainy seasons to allow for maximum viewing of wildlife and ease of getting around. For this trip we deliberately wanted to go during the "summer ", or rainy time in Botswana, in order to see the animals healthy, with lots to eat and many with new life at their sides.
In most peoples ' minds, the Kalahari is a ferocious and unforgiving desert. In February, it was awash in green, with large playas of collected rainwater and abundant herds of oryx, impala, and zebras. In turn, that meant resident lion prides looking fat and happy.
To the northwest, the famous Okavango Delta was not flooded but still well-watered. We witnessed packs of wild dogs hunting, lions and leopards on the prowl, and birds of every size, shape and color, including big flocks in a heron rookery. -- Evalyn Bemis
