Lilac-breasted Roller by Marian Herz
Take a journey to Africa with Marian Herz at our April Monthly program.
Marian will take us to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a natural wetland where one can see water birds as well as birds that prefer a dryer habitat. We'll first visit Moremi Game Reserve, followed by Khwai Reserve. We'll then move on to Savuti in the western part of Chobe National Park. This area is more wild, with fewer tourists than the better known Chobe River. We'll also visit the Chobe River, with numerous species of water birds. The trip ends in Kafue National Park in Zambia, where we'll see a few different species of birds. View numerous species of Botswana birds and learn about the behaviors of some of them.
