From his sojourns in the pans, Mcleod has now published a book titled ‘Makgadikgadi Pans – A traveller’s guide to the salt flats of Botswana’. Mcleod, 68, was born in Malaysia.

He has taught agriculture at secondary schools and colleges of education in Botswana. Mcleod has also authored a number of textbooks and resources on geography, agriculture and environment.
