RECENT STORIES
Guardians of the Darkness: Owls of Kabini
Published on: 08/06/2026 |Contributors: Preanka Roy & Vikram Nanjappa
We had just completed our second safari for the day and were on our way back to Evolve Back Kabini. The setting sun, cool evening breeze and the villagescape reset my nervous system in minutes. But the day was far from done.
On the Trail of Botswana’s Zebras
Published on: 01/06/2026 |Contributors: Sarah Kingdom
Discovering Africa’s longest mammal migration in one of Botswana’s most remote and beautiful landscapes - As the sun dipped behind the horizon, we sat around the fire in Nxai Pan listening to jackals calling across the desert. Hyenas whooped in the distance, and above us the stars emerged one by one.
Birdwatching in Kabini
Published on: 25/05/2026 |Contributors: Preanka Roy & Vikram Nanjappa
Birdwatching as a sport requires patience, preparation and ethical conduct, in addition to a certain level of discipline and physical fitness. Early mornings and late afternoons until dusk are ideal for observation. During these periods, birds are known to actively feed and the light conditions are favorable for photography. Winter mist rising from the reservoir often creates magical high-key images and silhouettes of ospreys, geese and ducks against crimson skies.
