Chobe National Park

We finally arrived into Botswanna again, and now have 2 additional passport stamps to prove it. Felt like they were wasting pages.

Anyways.

The camp site we stayed at was really nice. Lots of western tourists, plenty of places to upgrade (we didn't), and a gorgeous lobby with a buffet dining area to the side.

Kaitlin and I did the buffet two nights in a row. The food so far on the trip has been great, but a buffet is...well, a buffet.

We woke up super early the first morning to do an early game drive. We saw more animals in this drive than in any other: Hippos, monkeys, elephants, mongoose, warthogs, fish eagles and baboons, all incredibly, incredibly, incredibly close to our 4wd car.

We stopped for tea time on the Chobe river, and enjoyed the light breeze and early morning warmth.

Our sunset cruise that evening (thankfully included)gave us much more to see. There were tons and tons of elephants playing around in the water, wrestling each other and diving under using their trunks as snorkels, plus plenty of crocs and hippos to be seen.

Also, the campsite had huuuge spiders and spider webs, nowhere near us, thankfully.
