Chobe Under Canvas

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.

LEOPARD SCALING TREE

While on our last afternoon drive in Chobe, our wonderful guide, Meier, learns of a leopard sighting. We find the female leopard walking along the bush beside the river. Meier appears to know what she is up to so he keeps the truck back a distance from her. We then have a perfect view of the leopard scaling a very tall tree to check out a fish eagle nest. With no success, the leopard scampers quickly down the tree as baboons start to screech at her.
