Spotting African wild dogs (or African painted dogs), in this area of the Delta is rare – there are less than 3,000 wild dogs in all of Africa. We ended our day spending the last light with these special animals.

While the remote Okavango Delta hasn’t offered an abundance of cell service, it’s more than made up for it with multiple, quality leopard sightings, all in day one.

I’m kicking off what’s sure to be another great safari here in Botswana. We’ll be at Little Vumbura, an island camp in the northern Delta, for the next four days. Have a look at this fantastic tented camp, complete with private plunge pools, views of the floodplains, and great service.
