Travel tip: Reminder: Wet Season means water where once there was sand
A few posts back, we noted the Suvute Channel is a river after 20 years. That article created a bit of a buzz on several forums. For infrequent safari travelers, Spring and Summer rains from southern Africa and even central Africa mean many areas that are normally dry are quite wet. This translates to some very interesting driving situations. for guides and locals, this may not be a challenge, but for those of us from the northern hemisphere, the situation is something to be aware of and can create an extra level of excitement for your journey.
Here are a few examples worth your watching!
A late edit: Today, I ran across Hilton Kotze’s excellent blog. There I saw a few of his photos of vehicles crossing the Kwai River at Moremi NP in Botswana. I thought I would add the shots to help drive home the point.
