“Oregon Zoo Deputy Director Mike Keele, an elephant expert who has traveled extensively in Africa, will lead an 11-day excursion to Botswana. The tour takes place Nov. 7-18, 2006, and is timed to take advantage of the annual flooding of the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. Each year, after the rainy season, the delta floods, and animals from across the savanna flock there to mate and raise their young alongside its plentiful banks. Antelope, zebra, lion, hyena, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, giraffe and elephant are just some of the species that may be seen.” - KATU 2
