Thats a surprise, not as I expected at all – I thought the Pans were some sort of dry beds, but maybe this is rainy season?

  This was after the rainy season, but once we crossed that river in a canoe you really notice how dry it is.

  I didn’t know they were making the book series into a TV series. I haven’t read it, but people have suggested it for me to read. I’ll have to check out the series.

  Once you get behind that treeline along the water you can see just how barren.

  It was taken in the afternoon. I don’t remember the exact hour, but my best guess would be between 2-4pm.
