Baobob Camp is just outside the entrance to
Chobe National Park.
Chobe is Botswana's first, third-largest, and most biologically diverse park. It's known for having the largest number of elephants, and a large number of lions which prey on the elephants, mostly calves and juveniles, and subadults.
Leaving at 6:30am, we entered the Park on a well-maintained road and saw giraffes, baboons, wild dogs, and impala in the trees. Our driver/guide soon took us onto the not-maintained paths down to the vast wetland savana and hills surrounding it.
At this time of the year, near the end of the dry season, all see water. We found lions overseeing their prey from the hills, and crocodiles waiting in the ponds. Giraffes wary of both, but still taking their chances. Jackals circulated among impalas too big to take down, and local fisherman in dugout canoes took fish from almost empty rivers.
Still having trouble uploading photos, the blog will be a work in progress. To see those which were uploaded, click on Monday, Sep 29th, Baobob Camp, Botswana.
