Botswana Baobabs by Night

"I spent 10 days travelling through Botswana, living out of my car and moving through remote desert landscapes in complete isolation, focused entirely on photographing the night sky. This location became the highlight of the trip: a small, ancient island rising from the middle of a vast salt pan."

LGBTQIA+ roundup May 7: Trevor Project — 1 in 10 LGBTQ+ youth attempted suicide in 2025; 41% considered it; anti-LGBTQ+ politics are a significant driver; affirming communities cut the attempt rate by two thirds; 15% faced conversion therapy. Botswana formally repealed its colonial-era anti-gay law in March 2026; same-sex couple challenging marriage ban in July. Denver launched Prism, an LGBTQIA+-affirming mental health IOP.

From Windhoek to Livingstone — across Namibia, through the Caprivi Strip, into Botswana, and finally Zambia.

A long journey on an Intercape double-decker, crossing 4 border posts, switching to a shuttle in Katima, and even passing through Chobe National Park where a group of elephants crossed the road right in front of us 🐘

After everything that happened in Windhoek, this trip felt different. Losing my phone and all my photos still hurts — but I’m grateful I made it safely.

Now it’s time to slow down, rest, and get things sorted again.

Not every river needs to reach the sea. 🌊

When I first heard about the Okavango River in Africa, I wondered, “How can a river end in the desert?” 🏜️

It begins high in the mountains of Angola 🇦🇴, winds through Namibia 🇳🇦, and flows deep into Botswana 🇧🇼. However, unlike most rivers, it never reaches the ocean. There’s no grand delta by the coast, no final rush into the waves. The Okavango simply disappears into the sands of the Kalahari Desert 🏜️.

And yet, before it vanishes, it creates one of the greatest spectacles of life on Earth 🌍: the Okavango Delta. Between water and sand, a vast mosaic of channels, islands, and floodplains comes alive. Each year, when the rains arrive from distant highlands, the desert transforms into a paradise. Elephants roam through glistening waters. Lions stalk through the reeds. Fish eagles soar above papyrus-lined channels. All of it, right in the middle of a desert.

When the flood recedes, life retreats and waits, ready to bloom again.

The Okavango never reaches the sea, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a reminder that not every journey has to end where others expect it to. Sometimes, the greatest purpose is found right in the middle of the desert.

「Lest we forget – SS Mendi 21 February 1917

The #SouthAfricanNativeLabourCorps men aboard her came from a range of social backgrounds, and from a number of different peoples spread over the South African provinces and neighbouring territories. (287 were from #Transvaal, 139 from the #EasternCape, 87 from #Natal, 27 from #NorthernCape, 26 from the #OrangeFreeState, 26 from #Basutoland, eight from #Bechuanaland [#Botswana], five from #WesternCape, one from #Rhodesia and one from #SouthWestAfrica). Most had never seen the sea before this voyage, and very few could swim. The officers and NCOs were white Southern Africans.

[...]

Poignantly, 21 February 2024 did not see military celebrations but the sombre repatriation to South Africa of two SA National Defence force soldiers killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a rebel mortar strike last week.」
