Chobe Game Drive

So back at the lodge, we had a fantastic buffet lunch before hopping on the 4x4's at 1:45 for a game drive into Chobe. Although we knew at the outset that mid-afternoon expectations for sightings are lower, this was very good with a fairly good number of sightings including a lion family hiding under some trees. Incredible numbers of antelope, especially impala, also kudu, bushbuck, zebra, giraffe, and several groupings of elephants, including a large group of thirty that crossed the road 3m in front of us on their evening move from the river to the bush for the night. I can't remember all the birds we saw, but there were eagles, pretty rollers, and tons of water birds cranes, spoonbills, hornbills, etc.

Our driver/guide had incredible eyesight and told us lots of information about the park and its inhabitants. He drove us back to the border to meet our Zambian driver who had waited there the whole day and I got back at 6:30, so a very full day.Baca lagi
