Travel to Botswana in October and November and you’ll experience one of the year’s most compelling episodes.

It’s the end of the dry season: thorn trees are bare; the grass is golden brown. The leaves of mopane trees hang orange and lifeless, the hot air is filled with red dust, and both sunrise and sunset burn the sky – it’s the Amber Season.
