2008 - Chobe National Park, Botswana, Day 1

Our stay in Chobe National Park was only a couple of days and we were not able to venture very far into this amazing park but it was a great introduction to Botswana. We stayed at the Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane on the banks of Chobe River and right next to Chobe National Park. - https://www.chobe.com/ - We were less than 2 hours drive from Victoria Falls but in a much nicer place politically and economically. Game viewings are done on the land and from the river and both are spectacular.
