Moremi Game Reserve

We are now back in Maun from an amazing 4 nights in Moremi Game Reserve. We explored the wetland ecosystem, learned about its environment, and had some great encounters with wildlife such as lions, African wild dogs, spotted hyena, giraffes, hippos, and lots of elephants.

We are spending our last few days until July 10th (when the program ends) at Kitso Camp in Maun. We have several things planned including a boat cruise for July 4th, visiting a local basket weaving association, and several guest lectures by local researchers on various topics from environmental monitoring to dynamics of local livelihoods.
