Africa Tour PT 2 – Botswana in Photos
This is the second of three photo essays I’ll be posting about my recent tour in Africa. As a recipient of the U.S. Speaker and Specialist Grant, I traveled to Namibia, Botswana, and Swaziland to perform, teach, collaborate, and inspire. Throughout my journey across southern Africa, I met some amazing people and witnessed beautiful scenes. Here’s a window into my experience in Botswana:

“Puma” – View from my hotel room
“Training Day” – Man trains dog
“Greatest of All Time” – Goats running in Ramotswa
“Vision” – Filmmaker’s Workshop group works on scene in the parking lot of the Maharaja Conference Center
“War Tree” – Machine gun statue among the trees (anybody know the story on this?)
