   and looking in the other direction, over the plains, there was so much dust kicked up in the air that the setting sun was but a red smudge in the sky.

   But does the ice machine work ?

   Seriously,I think eco tourism is a great thing…
   My fave idea is one of those "canopy" tents in the Amazon…

   But how well organized is the infrastructure….?
   And if it gets "too successful" then how will that be managed..?

   Looks like a great trip. You have to explain the optics here?? I’m thinking Mad Max’s telescope….

   Very nice shot & this place is very interesting looking. A friend in Bali has a home on stilts…definitely feels like a tree house!

   yes, definite dream fodder.

   @dave halliday – well, there’s no heat or internet, but otherwise they do a good job despite the tricky shipping logistics out to the water-logged bush. Botswana has taken the strategy of low-volume (low-impact?) high-priced tourism. The concessions have only a few beds for thousands of acres. The biggest camp we saw had nine rooms.

   @In Memoriam: jerryfi_99 – I think it’s a steampunk confabulation amplifier.
