Trails and (lack of) Tribulations: Tamango Backpacking

By: Alice Gipe, University of Vermont

Our last field work trip of the semester took place right in our backyard in Reserva Nacional Tamango. For the past 2 months, we have been able to see Tamango, a mountain just northeast of Aquasol (our base camp), as it transitions through the seasons […] Now in the first week of April, we got the opportunity to explore the region while collecting important data on the conditions of the trails.

Reflecting on Khwai

By: Sebastian Janowitz, University of Vermont

Our time in Botswana is beginning to wind down, but we have still been treated to some incredible new sights and experiences. Close encounters with a pride of lions, playing wiffleball at sunset with a bat hand-carved from Mopane, and catching a glimpse of the elusive and almost mythical Sable Antelope are just a few things that made Khwai a magical place to spend some of our last days in the field.
