Show Notes

Dr Mike Murray-Hudson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Okavango Research Institute of the University of Botswana in Maun as well as long time resident and Okavango Delta lover. As a wetland ecologist he is an expert on the hydrology of the Okavango and joins me to discuss the impact of the drought of 2019 on the Okavango Delta and what we can expect in flood levels and seasonality going forward. We discuss the importance of these variations as well as how they impact a safari experience.

Join us for a conversation where we aim to get under the skin of the Okavango's beauty and celebrate the variability and diversity that make it so special.
