Chobe Park

Day 9 - May 29
Chobe Game Drive and River Cruise

The game drive began in the early morning with a safari vehicle loaded with about 12 Australians and one lady from Brazil. The guide did his best to show us all the game that Chobe is known for and provided a lot of interesting info. Sadly, no cats were about but lots of water buffalo, elephants, baboons, giraffes, impala, and kudos, were plentiful along with mongoose, warthogs and many species of african birds.

The late afternoon river cruse features many more elephant, and water buffalo as well as some very close-up views of hippos and crocodiles. I think the most interesting thing I learned was how the impalas like to stay close to the baboon troupes in the bush as the baboons would be quick to spot danger and t
hus alert the impalas.




(above) My tent was sooo hot during the day and so cold at night. However it was fairly comfortable and did have electricity.

Several Aussies and one lady from Brazli were part of my safari experience



The strange looking blobs in the top picture are actually hippos.  The numerous sightings of baboons usually found them playing or hitching a ride on mommy



Below are images from the evening Chobe river cruise.
