Then off to Chobe, Botswana! Our driver took us to the
border where we passed through Zimbabwe’s immigration and then he transferred us
to a separate driver to cross into Botswana. Confusing but we’ve learned to ask
no questions.
The drive was only a little over an hour. We stayed at the
Chobe Bush Lodge, part of the veteran resort, Chobe Safari Lodge. It’s only a
year old and we loved it. It’s adjacent to the older building, more modern and
has a separate pool and a la carte restaurant vs. the buffet style at the
Safari Lodge. Much quieter, too.
Our first day we did the sunset boat cruise on the Chobe
River. Much fun, despite loud German children. The vistas were beautiful and we
got up close to bathing elephants and countless hippos and crocodiles. And had
yet another unforgettable sunset.
After a good night’s sleep it was up at 5 a.m. for a morning
game drive in Chobe National Park. Surprisingly no elephants but the highlight
of the morning was watching a female lion devour a buffalo! Amazing!
