Chobe National Park River Cruise

After a relaxing few days in the delta, we headed further east to Chobe National Park. When we went game viewing in Etosha it was via overland truck. In the delta we traveled via foot, so in Chobe our mode of transportation was a pontoon boat. We spent the afternoon relaxing and watching the elephants, hippos, birds, monkeys and crocs along the water’s edge. Interestingly, we could view four countries during our cruise as many countries meet along the Chobe...Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Unfortunately, instead of ending with a beautiful sunset, our cruise ended in a downpour. It made for an interesting night of camping as well !
