News update from Island Safari.com

Hi All,

As Botswana is one of Island Safari's biggest destinations,we thought it would be great to give all you safari goers out there a news update from some of the camps in Botswana.

So Here goes.Enjoy.

Kanana – After a July cold spell(from the cold front in South Africa) sending wildlife shivering under the bushes,the sun returned bringing the lions and other defiant species back ! On their return journey are our feathered friends returning from Europe starting their summer breeding at Kanana’s private heronry.Pink backed pelicans are plentitude and various nests
are being built.

Shinde Camp - After a long week with everyone in a depression thinking that the new cubs at Shinde Camp had died, having been killed by an outlaw lion in the area– have re-appeared
from hiding much to everybody's relief and are now seen regularly and are growing day by day.

Young Explorer’s Delta at Footsteps Camp – With the July and August school summer holidays,the Young Explorers program has been very busy with children from across the world.Highlights on safari has been: making traditional bow and arrow sets, “target shooting” with air rifles, football matches instead of the ‘usual’ guided walks and game drives and the kids roasting some nice marshmallows.

Okuti - With life being boring at Okuti (not) with daily sightings of leopards and lions.With evening game drives,three different leopards have been seen as well
as local Xakanaxa Camp pride feasting on hippo.

Edo’s Camp – The highly fertile rhino bull has been at it again (without anyone noticing) making Edo’s one of the most successful white rhino breeding areas in Botswana. The total number of rhino's at Edo’s now comes to seven and as they stay close to the water pan, they are easily spotted and observed by guests.
