We flew from Camp Okavango to Kasane where our adventure continued at the Chobe Game Lodge in Chobe National Park. The Lodge was on the mighty Chobe River and the accommodations were truly luxurious- with a cement foundation and everything (in contrast to our tents at the previous camps... although the tents were very nice, too).
The schedule at Chobe was a bit different than the schedule at our other camps- wake-up call at 0500, tea at 0530, game drive at 0600-0830, breakfast at 0830, boat safari at 1030, lunch at 1230 followed by free-time, afternoon tea at 1530, game drive at 1600-1900, and dinner at 1930. In Chobe, we saw many of the same animals we had seen at the other camps. In addition, we also saw cape buffalo, black-backed jackal, dung beetles, red bishop birds, huge crocodiles and a gaggle banded mongooses (or mongeese, I don't know what the plural of mongoose is).
The park is known for its elephants- there are 45,000! We also saw more giraffe than we had seen at the other parks. We even saw some baby elephants and one that was only about 2 weeks old.
Some of the main highlights at Chobe were the lions and lion cubs which we were able to observe for an extended period of time. On our last morning game drive we saw two lionesses and three lion cubs who were napping and having a leisurely morning.
One day during our stay at the Chobe Game Lodge we took a day trip to Zimbabwe to visit Victoria Falls. WOW! They were much more expansive than we had envisioned and truly a wonder of the natural world. After our visit to the falls we went out for lunch and then visited a crocodile farm.
We had one stop left on our safari, so stay tuned for chapter five!
Chobe safari is really amazing place. I want to stay over there at lodge with my family so please give me the details on that. Well! If you want to take the features over Chobe game lodge then just look at that with beautiful scenarios.
