Our photographer went to Botswana and all we got were these amazing wildlife photos

By Matthew Sterne on January 9, 2017

Our media team recently returned from Botswana and came back with a treasure trove of breathtaking photos and videos. This 360 video (Click here) is truly unlike any video I’ve ever seen. This beautiful video about Botswana (below) gives you a good understanding of the allure of this unique and wild country.

Videos inevitably get the oohs and ahs but of course photos also carry their own stirring beauty. In the 14 days the team was in Botswana, they visited seven lodges in the Okavango Delta and Makgadikgadi Pans. Simon, our in-house photographer who recently contributed to the blog 5 Pro Tips for Composition in Wildlife Photography, flexed his creative muscles and outdid himself with this collection of photos. Here they are for your visual satisfaction and admiration – and feel free to ooh and ah, these photographers deserve the swoons as much as the other guys…
