Portfolio - Bird Life Photography Okavango Delta Botswana
A Nature Wonderland near Maun, North Eastern Botswana.
These pictures were taken in late March 2014, when the channels were still navigatable by small boat.
A wondrous array of birdlife and wild animals were on full display.
An early start was made in the morning and we returned in the late dusk - to our lodge. The early photos reflect the bird life greeting the morning sun.
The following are a selection of bird photos from one day on the Okavango Delta.
Wildlife animal photos are to be found in other sections of the Portfolio.
Thanks to our guides, Cobra and Obi , for getting us back safely to our Lodge in one piece !
