Chobe Under Canvas is situated in the Chobe National Park which encompasses 11 700 km2 of wilderness, bordered in the north by the beautiful Chobe River, and buffered on all sides by wildlife management areas and forest reserves allowing for the free movement of game. A wildlife enthusiast’s dream, Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world and is home to the largest single concentration of elephant.
ANYONE FOR A BATH?
On a boat cruise along the Chobe River where guests can sit in the comfort of a deck chair sipping on a drink of their choice, is a must see when visiting this part of Botswana.
During the mid-day heat the animals are trying by any means possible to avoid the scorching sun and their movements are reduced to hiding under the shade of the Fever-berries on the back. So as the sun starts to set, they head to the river for a refreshing drink. One never knows what one is likely to see and on this day was no exception. What a surprise!
This one is certainly enjoying this water. You can almost see a smile on his (?) face. Nice shot of this leopard. He really stands out with no foliage on the tree.
