In ConclusionEven though we by now have had our first good rain showers, a lot more rain is needed during the coming months to fill up all the water pans and ensure a good yield of vegetation for next years' dry season. December is probably the most beautiful month in the Chobe area with all the new growth and life around after having had rain. A typical December day is normally hot and clear with loose thundershowers in the late afternoon cooling tings down to more bearable temperatures. These thunderstorms often mean a delay in the activities as it is not sensible to go on Game drive during the height of a storm, but since these storms are normally very short lived they never really have too much of an impact on our activities.
The Department of Wildlife and National Parks are still in process of trying to improve our existing roads and have already cleared a few new roads - a really exciting development over the last two months. These roads meander through the miombo woodland south of the river giving us the opportunity to explore a greater variety of habitats and hopefully a greater variety of wildlife as well. |
