In this fourth safari chapter, John and James journey into Khwai, one of Botswana’s most scenic wildlife areas. Starting with tranquil moments at a hippo pool, they capture striking images and reflect on the surprising link between hippos and whales.

Along the way, they encounter fish eagles, enjoy bush delicacies like Lebowa mushrooms and celebrate the balance of challenge, beauty and wonder that defines safari life.
