๐Ÿงณ101 BEST SAFARI TOUR ADVISE EVER โœˆ๏ธ
Dos:
Respect Wildlife: Maintain a safe distance from animals and avoid making sudden movements or loud noises. Observe from a distance to avoid disturbing their natural behavior.

Follow Guides' Instructions: If you're on a guided safari, listen carefully to the instructions given by your guide. They are knowledgeable about the wildlife and safety measures.

Stay Hydrated: Botswana can be hot, so it's crucial to stay hydrated. Carry sufficient water during your safari to prevent dehydration.

Pack Light: Traveling on safari often involves moving between different camps. Pack light to make transportation easier and more comfortable.

Use Neutral Colors: When out on a safari, wear neutral-colored clothing to blend in with the natural surroundings. This can help you get closer to wildlife without alarming them.

Don'ts:
Don't Feed Wildlife: Resist the temptation to feed animals. Human food can be harmful to them, and feeding disrupts their natural foraging behavior.

Avoid Standing in Vehicles: Standing in open vehicles can be dangerous, especially when close to wildlife. Always remain seated and follow your guide's instructions.

Don't Litter: Keep Botswana's pristine wilderness clean by avoiding littering. Dispose of trash properly and respect the environment.

Wild Dogs Group

Botswana is one of the best places to see and photograph wild dogs. The overall population in Africa is probably sitting somewhere between 3000 and 5000 with over 700 alone found in Botswana, the majority of which are found in Moremi, The panhandle and Chobe region .

Wild Dogs are highly social with a strict hierarchal structure lead by an alpha male and alpha female.

They are easily recognized by thier irregular mottled coat, which features patches of red, black, brown, white and yellow fur. Their coats can vary hugely in colour making them easy to identify. Unlike other canines their tracks are easily distinguished from other dogs as they only have 4 toes per foot instead of 5. Their larges ears are also very recognisable and often then first feature picked up when spotting them in the thick bush found throughout Northern Botswana.

Do you know that despite their distinctive features Crocodiles and birds are somehow each other's closest relative. In fact, crocodilians and birds are the sole survivors of a much larger and more diverse group called the archosaurs. Dinosaurs (birds) split from crocodiles at some point in the distant past, specifically sometime in the Triassic. Interestingly, there is a fossil animal that showed up around when this split shouldโ€™ve occurred. Carnufex was discovered in North Carolina in 2003, according to PLOS. North Carolina State University reports that researchers led by Lindsay Zanno reconstructed Carnufex and found the creature to have a combination of crocodile and bird traits. Carnufex seems to represent the beginning of a split between what would one day become modern birds and those that would become modern crocodilians.
