Botswana’s Mobile Safaris Enjoys Success

Our mobiles have enjoyed a great success this season, even with the challenges that everyone has faced with the extremely high water in Moremi This year. We have had some incredible sightings these past months and amongst those were some unusual ones;

Khwai area – We witnessed a pride of cheetah stalking and chasing a serval cat. The serval was lucky to get away unscathed, however it’s probably still running today.

Xakanaxa area in Moremi – John Chase witnessed a pangolin testing the patience of a young male leopard. The leopard came across a pangolin which would immediately roll up into its scales in a tight bundle. After a few sniffs and gentle paw strikes, the leopard would walk off, and as soon as it had its back, the pangolin would walk after the leopard and nudge it and proceed to roll up into a tight ball, as though teasing the cat. Much to the young cat’s annoyance it eventually took refuge underneath a nearby vehicle.

Our highlights for the year still remain the amazing cat experiences we had in the green season (November – March) at Nxai pan and Central Kalahari Game Reserve.

We will be running specials again during the next green season. Look out on our web site first week of October.
