Cooling Off

Taking a boat cruise on the Chobe River or driving along its waters edge can bring about many surprises. Recenting after getting off the boat which we used to cruise the calm waters of the Chobe River we made our way towards camp at a slow meandering pace. Driving along the riverfront and enjoying the scenery and lanscape scattered with general plaines...

African Wilddog in Camp

It is not uncommon for our sister camp, Savuti Under Canvas, to see wilddog in camp. However at Chobe the wilddog is not a common occurance but lately we have been lucky enough to be seeing them on a regular basis. The reason? They have been denning close to where we camp and it is a thrill to see them every now and again make their way around our camp...

Chobe Riverfront Home of the Elephant

There is nothing more relaxing than an afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River. Starting mid afternoon and heading downstream you get to see quiet a bit along the river banks. Hippos on islands and antelop on the waters edge. Although it is the elephants that are the main attraction. On one such afternoon while heading down stream we saw breeding herd...

A prickly Affair

It was around 18h00 on an afternoon drive when we came across a porcupine walking on the road. Being shy creatures the porcupine moved off the road as we approached and scurried towards a hoile. I knew this hole as we periodically saw a large male warthog frequent this burrow. It still showed signs of occupation. The porcupine dissappeared inside the...

The first time we approached the carcus we were fortunate to encounter a female leopard with her sub adult cub feasting on the elephant. While watching the interaction between mother and cub we watching with...

One hour is more than enough in Chobe

This was a game drive transfer from the airport to the camp, just some twenty minutes from the park gate at a well known area called Hippo Pool, we stopped to count the hippos in this pool which were numbering to thirty animals, this was my first time to see such a big number in this pool.

Tracking a beast

One of our 3 evenings spent in Chobe was serenaded by roars of beasts (lions). We could barely sleep as the excitement of seeing them was overwhelming. The calls came closer and they were non-stop. We headed out first thing in the morning to track and find the lions. The photo shows the large track which we were following on the road. Unfortunately we did...
