点评:I did the northern highlights southbound tour with Letaka in May and it was an amazing trip. I have done multiple safaris and this ranked up at the top. Botswana felt more "wild" and less crowded than the other parks I have been to. Our guides (Bate and Alex) and camp crew were incredible. This was my first camping safari but it was so comfortable and the food was top notch. We ended up with two guides as one had a family emergency and both were so good at tracking game and positioning the vehicle in the perfect spot for viewing and photography.
I was hoping to see wild dogs as I hadn't seen them on my previous safaris and they certainly delivered. We saw a group hunting in Savuti and then spent two days with them in Mababe. If you are eager to see them I was told the best chances is going between late May to July as that is when they typically den. We spent time at their den, saw two hunts/kills, saw them fight off both hyenas and a crocodile, saw how they communicated with either other, and more. We of course had many other amazing sightings including lions, cheetah, and leopard.
翻译:五月,我参加了莱塔卡(Letaka)的北部精华南行之旅,真是一次奇妙的旅行。我参加过多次狩猎旅行,这次绝对是其中之一。博茨瓦纳比我去过的其他公园更“野性”,人也更少。我们的导游(Bate和Alex)和营地工作人员都非常棒。这是我第一次参加露营狩猎旅行,但感觉非常舒适,食物也一流。我们最终选择了两位导游,因为其中一位家里有急事,两位导游都非常擅长追踪猎物,并且能把车停在完美的位置,方便观景和拍照。
我之前参加狩猎旅行时从未见过野狗,所以希望能见到它们,而他们确实做到了。我们在萨武蒂(Savuti)看到了一群野狗在狩猎,之后我们在马巴贝(Mababe)和它们一起度过了两天。如果你渴望看到它们,我听说最好的机会是在五月下旬到七月之间去,因为那是它们通常筑巢的时间。我们在它们的巢穴里待了一段时间,见证了两次狩猎/杀戮,看到它们与鬣狗和鳄鱼搏斗,观察它们如何相互交流等等。当然,我们还看到了许多其他令人惊叹的景象,包括狮子、猎豹和豹子。
