Although short, our one-day Chobe Safari tour departing from Vic Falls was a truly memorable safari and in some ways eclipsed our earlier safari in Kruger National Park. Doing both a safari by boat and another in a 4x4 vehicle added variety to the day, with an excellent buffet meal at one of the resorts sandwiched in between. During the boat cruise, we saw many land animals on the shore, but most notably elephants splashing mud on themselves to cool down from the hot sunny day. We also saw crocodiles, giant lizards, and hippos. During our 4x4 drive, we saw HORDES of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, impalas, etc. in incredible numbers all around you - it was such an amazing sight. Finally, the true highlight was coming across these lions hiding in the shade of trees - we drove up super close to them and that was just such a surreal and still safe experience. Thanks to all the drivers and guides that made this such a great experience.
