Podcast conversation with Sandra Devoti.

Note: I look a bit like I’m in a prison, but I’m actually in a glass front conference room with terrible lighting in Costa Rica. Forgive the video quality!

Sandra and I had so much fun talking about Botswana – one of the most exclusive safari experiences out there. We shared what makes it so special. We talked about the main areas for seeing wildlife in the country:
