Pula Pula

We have finally returned from our trip of a lifetime -- for those of you had not guessed or did not know -- we did a two week photographic African safari, traveling through Johannesburg, South Africa; Maun, Botswana; the Okavango Delta, Khwai and Linyanti in Botswana, and on to Livingstone, Zambia for a viewing of the final, missing chapter of the African Big 5.

Botswana was a remarkable country, with warm and wonderful people, stunning vistas and incredible wildlife. 

Pula means many things -- it's Botswanian currency; it means rain, and is said as everyone raises a glass and cheers, "Pula Pula" to encourage the rain to fall during this dry, hot season.

It's a beautiful land, and in the coming days, weeks, months, I'll share more information about the trip than you probably ever wanted to know.  It was special....and I am encouraging everyone I know to add a photographic safari to your bucket list -- an absolute must do.

Pula Pula to our new friends, Marlies, Bernhard, Angelique, and Martha from Switzerland, and the Big 6 - our incredible guide, Bapadile Brooks Kamanakao....and to our moturi and camp staff, Joseph, Timothy and Obi.

 And Pula Pula to African Portfolio, the adventure travel company extraordinaire who made this adventure possible. Check them out online. Really.
