Next country up, Botswana and the Chobe River.
Fascinating driving from Zimbabwe to Botswana & seeing a giraffe or elephant alongside the road. Exciting to me, the guide was ...I see this every day. LOL.
Spent a couple of days touring the Park, another day on the Chobe River with a side trip to Namidia.
Every morning, the elephants & others would come down from deep in the park to the Chobe River to drink & eat. Then return back into the park interior at night
The babies were the cutest because they'd come right up to the vehicle. The Mama would come charging over to herd them away.
These were darn tall but generally never approached a vehicle
Before I purchased a telephoto lens but very proud of this one because it's rare to catch the giraffes bending to get a drink.
Kudu. Sort of an Antelope. Those horns are quite large & prized
Marabou Storks. During the day, they wander the banks. At dusk, they accumulate high in dead trees & just look plain creepy.
Sunset on the Chobe River
This is a termite mound.
Fell over one of these damn things on the way back to my room one night. They just dart of out the dark. I think he was on the menu the next night.
