Over the last week, Alexander has been out travelling on a very special Readers’ Safari in glorious Botswana, home to Precious Ramotswe and The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. His friend Mats Ögren Wanger has sent some outstanding photographs from the Okavango for us to share (copyright Mats Ögren Wanger).

The readers’ safari and the pre-safari programme in Maun was set up by Louise FitzGerald of Okavango Delta Explorations. Sandy is very grateful to her for her input. You can follow her here on Facebook for even more stunning scenes from Africa.

Find out more about The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. The next book in this series is out in September of this year, In the Time of Five Pumpkins.

Botswana is a kind country, and we are reassured that no matter how unhappy the world may be, there is always an oasis of courtesy and peace in that special place in southern Africa. To which you are now invited.
