Modisa Wildlife Project

We returned to Maun yesterday and have been staying at Camp Kitso before we leave for safari tomorrow. We'll be heading to Khwai in the Okavango Delta, where we'll be on safari for four nights. We will be without cell service in Khwai, but will have the satellite phone with us (again - for emergencies only). 

Before making the trek into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, we stopped at Modisa Wildlife Project for two nights. Modisa is a volunteer-run conservation project that tackles issues related to human-wildlife conflict in the Kalahari. They also provide food and shelter for multiple large predators at the heart of these conflicts - including lions, wild dogs, and leopards. 

On the drive to Modisa, our driver Colin found a large stick insect.

On our first afternoon at Modisa, we were given an introduction to human-wildlife conflict in Botswana by Val, the co-founder and conservation operator at Modisa.
