Sometimes lions decide that the best place to take a nap is right behind your car 🤷‍♀️ 💛

Hyenas playing and laughing 📣.... Isn't it the best way to start the day? 😂

Amber season in all its splendour! October is a difficult time for wildlife. The heat is suffocating, water is scarce and food is less abundant... But the sightings of big cats are simply incredible!

In just one day exploring Moremi, Olivier and Nathalie came across a big pride of lions with cubs and 2 big males, a cheetah and two leopards.

It was truly a remarkable safari, don't you think?

It's an old story that anyone who's been through the gate at Mabuasehube will know. What fun it is to have an office in the bush! I'm not sure everyone agrees with me... not even the leopard 😃

The challenge of spotting a leopard in dense vegetation...

Leopards are masters of camouflage, blending perfectly into their environment. Their spotted fur blends into the shadows and foliage, making them incredibly difficult to detect. And when they are found, they sometimes categorically refuse to move or show themselves!

But what a reward to find your very own leopard, isn't it?

Of course, when a magnificent new lodge with fine cuisine opens its doors in Maun, we're among the first to come and indulge!

We weren't disappointed and had a great time dining by the Thamalakane river at Grays Eden Sanctuary. We are now determined to try out the whole menu... Just to be sure 🤩

So big, so strong and so much like your domestic cat on certain aspects!

Last Sunday, the water made its way to Disaneng, the area where we live in Maun. It was another great time spent watching the miracle of the Okavango 💙

Congratulations to our champion 👏 🇧🇼

Letsile Tebogo became the first African to win the men's Olympic 200 metres title on Thursday when he powered clear of American duo Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles to claim Botswana's first Olympic gold medal.

Team Tawana at the riverbed clean-up to celebrate the arrival of the floods in Maun.

Well done everyone 👏

The miracle of the Okavango Delta is happening now in Maun!

Every year, the water is awaited by all the inhabitants of Maun and its arrival brings a smile to everyone's face, including the frogs, birds, goats, donkeys and cows.

The Thamalakane River slowly fills up thanks to the Boro River. The water first flows northwards because of the slope and then returns southwards, pushed by the flood from the Gomoti River. And it's only then that Maun will regain all its splendour, the reflection of its palm trees, its birdlife and its water lilies.

Apart from this fascinating sight, witnessing the arrival of the water in Maun is probably the best way to connect with the Batswana and learn all the little stories and traditions surrounding the Okavango.

Before leaving, don't forget to dig a small hole at the front of the river tongue, let it fill up and rinse your hands to get luck until next year!

By the way, do you know how the Okavango Delta really works?

We've got the answer right here👇

Some Sundays take you far from home, to an unknown place that you try to locate with the help of people you meet along the way, finding a blue house that reminds us of our life in Kasane, and finally discovering a secret little gem where we received a very warm welcome...

This is how every Sunday should be :-)

More information to come on this exciting new destination that our selfdrivers will soon be able to enjoy...

Setting up a rooftop tent for the night: easy or not easy? In French, we'd say: "un jeu d'enfant!" Denis and his two daughters had such a great time in Moremi and Chobe with lots of beautiful sightings... More to follow 😊 #happyselfdrivers #okavangodelta #botswana

For my birthday earlier this year, I received the most amazing present 💛🖤💛 The African bush is my happy place. Thank you mother nature.

Large groups of zebra are currently found around the Baines baobabs. They are probably on their way to the Chobe River, where they migrate every year. It takes around 80 days to complete the route. Good luck to you, guys! 🦓 👉 Learn more about zebra migration in Botswana (french only): https://tawanaselfdrive.com/migration-des-zebres-au-botswana/ #ZebraMigration #Botswana

The cheetah spirit animal is all about high energy and taking risks. Are you ready for adventure in 2024? Tawana Self Drive wish you and your loved ones a wonderful New Year. May it be full of joy, love, fun!
