The hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly colored and sometimes has a casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, "buceros" being "cow horn" in Greek

Thanks for beeing in Ambassador pictures! HFF and happy happy weekend:) ********************************************** The primary reason to visit Tsumkwe is the fact that the area is inhabited by the bushman people. The Living Museum at Grashoek village offers the opportunity to meet traditionally dressed Ju/Hoansi San people, the center also offers demonstrations of the bushman culture and survival techniques such as using a bow and arrow, a digging stick and generations of accumulated knowledge.

[taken with permission] The Bushmen established the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, a game reserve of about 30 x 35 km around a pan (Nyae Nyae Pan), which turns into a lake after good rainfalls. In this regoin the Bushmen can be seen in their natural habitation and one can even partake in a hunt or a nature walk. It is estimated today that about 30,000 San are living in Namibia, of which about 2,000 still have a traditional way of live.

HAPPY NEW WEEK:) The cluster of millennia-old baobab trees in the Nxai Pan National Park in Botswana owes its name to the man known to have discovered them. Thomas Baines, artist and fellow explorer to John Chapman, captured in paint the scene in 1862 on a trip through the expansive salt pans, en route to the Victoria Falls. Baines’ Baobabs, as they are known today, are a sight sought by many travellers venturing into the untamed terrain of Botswana.

Upside Down Stories Legends abound as to why the tree looks like it has been stuck upside down into the ground. One story goes that the god Thora did not like the baobab growing in his garden, so he plucked it out and threw it out over the wall of Paradise. It fell on the Earth below, landing upside down and simply continued to grow.

IN MEMORY of my beloved all. *********************************** Vita mortuorum in memoria est posita vivorum. "The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living." La vita dei morti sta nella memoria dei vivi. (Marco Tullio Cicerone)

The Okavango River is a river in southwest Africa. It is the fourth-longest river system in southern Africa, running southeastward for 1,600 km (990 mi). It begins in Angola, where it is known by the Portuguese name Rio Cubango. Further south, it forms part of the border between Angola and Namibia, and then flows into Botswana, draining into the Moremi Game Reserve.

Wish you a most happy weekend. Love AM
