Tomorrow  is the start of the first edition of our African Wilderness Medicine course. The course is held during and adventurous trip through Botswana and Zimbabwe, and highlights all aspects of wilderness and expedition medicine relevant to the African setting. The journey departs from Maun, Botswana, featuring a kayak expedition in the Okavango Delat as a first highlight, further on to the Makgadikgadi Salt pans, Chobe NP and ending at the famous Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. We will be travelling with an overland truck and spend the nights (bush)camping. A typical day will consist of medical workshops, an outdoor activity such as a walking safari, kayaking or boat tour, followed by a transfer to the next destination. Lectures will be held outside in the evening hours after sunset. The gained experience of the participants will be an ideal base for work as an expidition doctor, (clinical) volunteer work or electives.

We will try to post pictures of the trip regularly during the next week.
