Safari at Chobe National Park, Botswana

Today was a great day as we travelled to Botswana for our safari.  To get there without driving through Zembabwe, we drove west along the Zambezi to the ferry at Kazungula, the point where Zambia, Zembabwe, Namibia, and Botswana come together.  We take a small boat across the Zambezi to Botswana where the crew from Chobezi met us.  A short ride to the lodge, then a morning boat safari on the Chobi River in the national park.

 In for a great lunch at the Chobi Safari Lodge and then off in Land Rovers for the afternoon.  No big cats this year but a nice selection of most others. Here are some photos from today. The Kudu was a large one, but I couldn't get a good angle to get the best photo.  Of course, the Kudu is significant because of Wood Badge and Robert Baden Powell.

After we finished the Land Rover portion, the drivers take us back to the Zambezi for us to head back to Livingstone.  As we were heading down to the ferry, we came across a small herd of female elephants near the town of Kisani, Botswana.
