This week we are joined by Botswana safari icon Mike Myers! Mike has been in the Botswana safari business for 40 years now, and his travels have taken him to every corner of the Okavango Delta. His photography work is legendary, and if you've considered a Botswana safari before, you may have already seen his work! Mike is the General Manager of the new, sublime Xigera Safari Lodge in the heart of the Okavango.
