Chobe Safari

After a wonderful breakfast at the Protea-Livingstone, a coach picked us up for transport to Chobe National Park, Botswana for our safari. We breezed through Zambian Immigration exit and went smoothly into Botswana. Our safari company was the African Odyssey Safari Company at the Chobe Marina Lodge. It was different from the last several years. The process, however, was identical with delivery to the lodge to board a boat on the Chobe River. The river guide seemed to know a lot about animals and history and I enjoyed listening to him. Unfortunately, we did not see as many animals as we have in the past. No lions or leopards and only about 50-60 elephants, 10-15 giraffes, 40 or so hippos, and 4 small crocs. It was still a wonderful day. The lunch at the lodge was nice and the afternoon Land Rover excursion was about the same. We are all tired and decided to retire early.
