For your son or daughter trying to take their photography hobby to the next level... Give them some practice while on safari in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Seasoned safari-goers and newbies alike will revel in the diversity of the wildlife at the Moremi Game Reserve, and surely they won't be able to resist finding the best angle for capturing the migratory bird species arriving for the season, including vibrant kingfishers, bee-eaters, and kuckoos. Try out the photography hide at the Mashatu Game Reserve. After the rains is also one of the best times to view the majestic Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World!
