One of the prettiest birds we saw during our trip was the national bird of Botswana, the Lilac Breasted Roller. In fact, I could not stop taking pictures of it.

This pair of Lilac Breasted Rollers was clearly nesting in this tree on the lawn at Mala Mala.
On our very last day, as we were waiting to leave for the airstrip, I managed to get a photo of one in flight.
