Chobe National Park, Botswana

From the banks of the Chobe river we looked across to Namibia over water that would flow over the Victoria Falls and out to the Indian Ocean. Here on the Botswana side we hopped on a boat cruise for our last wildlife fix.

The villainous charisma of the crocodiles was never going to out-charm the local residents: hundreds and hundreds of elephants.

Animals that we were happy to observe for hours, especially when performing such feats as wading across the deep river using their trunks as snorkels.
