    85 ton excavator arrives in Maun, Botswana - brought by a vehicle 4.2 metres wide, with 15 axles and 58 tires. It is enroute to Express Quarries in Tali Pan. The quarry is close to the Discovery Metals exploration property in the Kwgebe Hills. The total load weighed over 115 tons and must be the biggest delivery of its king in the history of Northern Botswana. In the video we have employees of the Maun Industrial Park celebrating the arrival of the new machine.   Read Full Story

A Mobile Safari Reunion, Botswana By David Young Does the wilderness ever call your name? I often hear my name.

Qani, Shaka, Allan and Shylock are from Botswana, Trevor is from England, Kelly is an Australian and I am from Canada. The first 25... Read Full Story

Camp is close to the River Khwai. The tents are erected in a semicircle, facing our vehicle, portable kitchen and chairs. From time to time our attention is drawn to the peaceful grunts of hippos enjoying themselves in the river. After a light lunch and brief rest, we are ready for the afternoon game drive.   Our camp is in a mopane forest. Elephants like to eat mopane trees for food and it is not long before we come upon two elephants feeding themselves as they make their way through... Read Full Story

The soft late afternoon light gives us a beautiful sighting of a small herd of impala. They are relaxed and graze quite close to the vehicle. Moving further around the edges of the plains we meet 5 or 6 wildebeests – the clown of the plains. They tend to be more animated than other large animals and often... Read Full Story

Shaka has prepared a tasty curried chicken dish. The stories of these old friends flow around the table, like the quality South African red wine that is washing down the gourmet meal. A bottle of whiskey appears after dinner and the stories become more animated and comical. I feel quite honoured to be sharing highlights from the lives of good friends. No doubt, our trip will become part of the stories of future reunions. We look somewhat unsteady, getting out of our tents the following... Read Full Story

Another Commuter Flight G etting around Botswana by land presents a challenge due to the vast unpopulated areas and limited road system. Bush plane is by far the best way to navigate any long distance travel. On the way to the air field we saw large herds of Impala, Red Lechwe and a Kudu with a calf. It was not quite as exciting as the day before when while watching a heard of six elephants a young bull decided he wanted us out of the way. He charged at us from a running start of about 200...
