January Program and Meeting

A trip to watch wild animals, especially in Africa is called a safari. In Swahili, safari means journey or expedition. Botswana is a landlocked country in southern Africa. The country lies mostly in the Kalahari Desert and contains the Okavango Delta, one of the world’s largest, inland, river deltas.  Our group of Kansas travelers found over 30 species of mammals, over 200 species of birds, luxurious camps, fabulous meals, endearing people and toasted evening sunsets in Botswana bush country.  Come share the adventure!

Bob Gress is the former director of the Great Plains Nature Center in Wichita and co-founder of www.BirdsInFocus.com.  Bob has photographed wildlife in wild places throughout North American, Central America, South America, New Zealand and Africa.  Over 4,900 of his wildlife photos have been published and are seen in a variety of magazines and in more than seventy books.  Currently, Pete Janzen and Bob are finishing The Guide to Kansas Birds and Birding Hot Spots, Expanded Edition.  Watch for the publication of this book in 2024.
