Our local agent in Botswana keeps us up to date with the latest news. This time an update from Carien about wildlife in the Okavango Delta:

‘This year was one of the lowest flood seasons that the Okavango Delta has had in the past three or four years and so has allowed for a lot more movement of animals and more restricted areas for some of the lodge’s water activities.

As a result, andBeyond Savute Under Canvas is seeing an increasing number of elephants being attracted to the marsh and the areas around it. This said, the lions of Savute have started their famous hunting of younger elephants again probably due to the very dry season that Botswana has had, weakening the younger animals.

Exciting, romantic, passionate, sensual, seductive… The Argentine Tango.

The Argentine Tango was born more than a hundred years ago in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Poor immigrants made music and music traditions from Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe mingled with native South American music. Originating in the working-class neighbourhoods and slums, tango was increasingly welcomed by the well-off classes. But the real popularity of tango could only arise when a tour of Europe was organized for a few orchestras and dancers. Tango became hugely popular in many European capitals in the years 1915-1920. From the tango as it sounded at that time and as it was danced the ballroom-tango was born, the tango that is now danced in the dance schools.
