Chobe National Park - Day 11

Expect the unexpected, a dead elephant loaded on the back of a truck. 

We were a bit later than expected to start thanks to having breakfast in the campsite and last minute packing but we were still on the road just after 6.30am.

Chobe National Park - Day 10

The legendary elephants of the Chobe river. 

Since we'd were going into the park for the last day, we were up as usual before sunrise and ready to go soon after. We were dropping Sudesh off on the way to the park for him to pick up a guide and head to Maun to continue his adventure.

Chobe National Park - Day 9

Zebs on the flood plain. They seem to only hangout close to Ihaha. 

Today we leave Chabe National park so packed up and ready to go at 5.40 in the hopes of catching the resident leopard and her sub-adult cubs. She was elusive though so we changed tactics to follow up in the lions near to camp that had been roaring in the night.

Chobe National Park - Day 8

Yellow Billed Ox-pecker

Ready to go by 5.45am, we headed out of Ihaha and on to the plain. We hit paydirt quickly when we spotted 2 lionesses coming from the Chobe River channel after drinking, literally next to the camp site!

Chobe National Park - Day 7

Finding this guy around twin hills was pure magic!

We had a long drive ahead of us, out the Ghoha gate and re-enter the park through Ngoma gate but the priority was a morning game drive before leaving Savuti. So we headed straight to the elephant carcass in the hopes that the lions were feeding.
