In 2013 Thom Hogan and Anthony Medici again led a photo workshop through the Okavango Delta system in Botswana. This is Thom’s blog of that trip.
The basic map of key points we hit during the workshop (thanks Murali):
- Royal Tree Lodge
- Moremi Mobile Camp
- Camp Okavango
- Lopez Island
- Savute Mobile Camp
- Chobe Mobile Camp
- Chobe River cruise (from Kasane)
- Botswana Passport control
- Zambia Passport control
- The Royal Livingston
