About Botswana
Except for the famous Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe was flying under the safari goers' radar until recently. However, Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most rewarding destiantions for photographers. Mana Pools, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its walking safaris, relaxed wildlife, and low visitor numbers. Its big drawcards are elephants standing on their hind legs, lions hunting near the river’s edge, and wild dogs moving through the forested floodplains. Hwange, to the west, is famous for its large elephant herds and varied habitats, while Matusadona and the Zambezi Valley offer boat-based access and a chance to work with subjects from different angles. These are wild, underdeveloped areas that promise a great safari experience.
