It is Carmine Bee-Eater season in Botswana
During September and October, carmine bee-eaters often arrive in northern Botswana from Central Africa and are can sometimes be seen in their hundreds in the Chobe and Savuti areas. These beautiful birds with their pink and red feathers attract birders from all over the world. They breed in colonies in suitable sandy banks making long burrows in which they lay their eggs. A flock of these gorgeous creatures circling against a blue sky and diving to catch insects is a sight you will forever remember. Come to Botswana and share the magic.
