Nine Days in Eden: A Safari through the Okavango Delta in Botswana

Escape to the untouched wilderness of Botswana's Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in Alexandra George's spellbinding new book, Nine Days in Eden. The work unveils the wonder and beauty of all the creatures great and small that inhabit this gem. Here, for half the year, nearly 7,700 square miles of the Okavango Delta, part of southern Africa's Kalahari Desert, is transformed into a spectacular inland lagoon that swirls with life and death, a unique habitat for wildlife that invites us to appreciate its untouched splendour.

The 17 Photo Tales, or wildlife stories, are based on a nine-day mobile tented safari to the Okavango Delta, Botswana, the most untouched wildlife destination in Africa. The stories are interspersed with over 200 stunning wildlife and bird photographs from this immersive journey into the Okavango Delta complemented by watercolours by British artist Tom Shepherd.

Vivid descriptions transport you to the shimmering inland lagoons, sweeping grasslands, crystal clear waters of the Okavango Delta's channels and waterways. The Okavango is a perfect wildlife destination with endless possibilities to explore the incredible natural wonders and some of the most diverse wildlife on the planet. Where a dazzling variety of bird species paint the skies with vibrant hues making the Okavango Delta truly a safari paradise. Where a stealthy leopard stalks its prey through the lush vegetation. Where a majestic elephant herd wades gracefully through crystal-clear waters.

Nine Days in Eden is also an ardent call to preserve and protect this unique ecosystem and the wondrous creatures and birds that dwell in the Okavango Delta.

Proceeds from the book will go to the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust Wild Dog Project.
