August
The elephant herds are getting larger. As they jostle for space near the water tension rises between the breeding herds. The bush is bare and the dust pervades but there is plenty of action and with patience and perseverance the rewards are great. The floods have passed through theDelta and now reach Maun - leading to excitement for the locals in town as water related speculation is at a peak - how high? When will it stop? How far will the water go? The weather is warming up with daytime peaks averaging closer to 30°C and night time averages rising to around 10°C. August is another special month in Botswana as well as being peak visitor season. The herons, storks and other birds start to congregate at the Gadikwe heronry, visited on the boat transfer between Camp Moremi, Camp Okavango and Xugana Island Lodge.
