Chobe National Park - First of all, I needn't have worried about a lack of ammenities in the bush. We are traveling with a crew of three people. Yes, we are only two people but apparently we need three people to take care of us: the guide/driver, the cook and the camp assistant. This means we do not have to set up tents; we eat loads of food, all of it cooked over the open fire; and somebody heats water for our bucket shower. If I had known that this was what camping was like, I would do it more often!
The wildlife has been amazing. One day was lion day (two sleeping males plus three carousing females spotted).
The elephant families are not shy here and have blocked the road on more than one occasion. When this happens, you basically just stop the jeep and wait for the elephants to continue on their way. They are not to be rushed.
We also witnessed an incredible zebra migration - thousands and thousands of zebras moving across the plain.
The landscape here is much different than the delta. There is not as much water and therefore not as much greenery. It is more of the wide open savannah that we have all seen on the Nature Channel. It makes for spectacular sunsets.
