Jacana Safari Report Botswana

Botswana Safari Siesta

Plan a Jacana Safari with vacationtechnician.com


The reports from Botswana's Chobe sightings are great as usual. Guests were fortunate enough to see wild dogs, as well as a herd of Roan antelope. Their bird list was well into the 40's even though it was only their first day. The second day was as lively as the first and they had some amazing encounters with Chobes many elephants.

Linyanti also proved to be fantastic - we came across loads of Roan antelope , Giraffe, Zebra, Warthog as well as Hippo's. We watched a baby elephant splashing around in the mud having a great time. Great photo opportunities for the guests.

We also managed to find two pairs of lusty lions. The first pair were gracious enough to let us watch them in the act, whilst the other two seemed to be having a bit of a lovers tiff and were giving each other the cold shoulder.

That evening we took a small night drive, and managed to get a brief look at a leopard who was running with a baboon in its mouth. That following day we went for a mekoro canoe excursion, where we saw many letchwe, sable bill storks, and elephants. The canoe trip is always a big highlight for vacationtechnician guests and something different to being in the vehicle.

Back at camp we caught sight of two lions lying on their side, they allowed us to watched them for a while, but then got a little irratated by us and got up and began roaring, the booming shock wave left our guests speechless and wide eyed.

At Kaparota, we decided to leave the vehicle behind and go for a walk, we found a dead buffalo accompanied by several lion paw prints. That night we saw quite a few hyena and also the kubu pride who didn't do to much of anything except lounge around. The next day we came across a massive herd of buffalo which could have easily totaled up to 1000 individuals. That evening we found a genet that was in full view, as well as leopard, probably the nicest few of elephant that we had throughout the entire trip, it was a truly awesome sight.
