Botswana and Beyond Marcella Mirande-ketcham

I embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to South Africa. This was a dream come true for me since I have been working with animals all my life. I sincerely hope that my story and my photographs will make you feel that you are living this experience with me and are right there beside me in the bush with these wild animals, enjoying the adventure that I have experienced. No words could define the sense of awe and danger which I felt while photographing these magnificent creatures. This story was purposely written in a light, humorous mode even though, at times, I wondered if we were going to get back to our camp without incident. The photographs alone are invaluable and express the moods of these wonderful animals as they pursue survival in this vast land. I hope you enjoy reading this adventure as much as I have enjoyed living it.
