    Few more from the last week on the road. These are from Chobe National Park, Botswana.

    Had literally only crossed the border from Namibia into Botswana and was 5km up the road when the safari began before it began. This is driving through a wildlife corridor, you've to go slow because of the amount of wildlife crossing the road

    Inside Chobe park got very lucky to see a leopard at 7am eating its overnight catch, a young buffalo

    These ones from a place called Elephant Sands Lodge which is a waterhole surrounded by a campsite & lodges. Pitched a tent here for a bargain €12 and then sat back with a beer and watched up to 60 elephants gather around for water. Later on around midnight a couple walked right by the tent on their way back into the bush

    Heading onwards now towards Zambia. Would have liked to have gone down to the Okovango Delta but the lodges down there are massive money, €1000+ a night not uncommon. Heard locally that Will Smith & entourage are down there right now so will leave it to the uber wealthy.

    Will post some more when I've done a couple of safari drives in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.

    Just back from a few days in the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater in Tanzania. What can I say but it is absolutely world class safari in that national park, there are so many lions and other big cats in there that your jaw keeps dropping over and over again.

    Anyway Ill try not clog the thread with too many of the hundreds of photos taken and just post the best taken. Not all photos are mine as we had a Whatsapp group on the go in the safari jeep which was actually a great way to do it.
