Drove to Kasane, the home of Chobe National Park.
On the way there we passed herds of wild elephants on the side of the road. One herd had a few baby elephants, one of them was under the belly of the mother elephant, very cute. While we were taking pictures of the elephants , a police car came upon us and wanted a bribe or the truck would get impounded but our guide stood her ground and managed to get us and the truck out of the sticky situation without paying it. No further stopping to take pictures as it is apparently illegal to stop on the road.
In the evening we went on a sunset cruise into Chobe, one of the best things I have ever done. We passed so many animals all within a few meters of us. Hippos were in abundance , groups of them, some with babies, a few crocodiles,elephants having mud baths, water buffaloes drinking water, varieties of birds and the ever present impalas and kudus. All that plus a double rainbow ( one was actually complete) and a beautiful sunset.
Everybody had a bit to drink on the cruise so we were a merry lot by the time we got back to our campsite .
