Chobe River gifts

So far I have not showcased the Cape buffalo which is majestic in it's own right. Large, powerful and impressive, they don't take lip from anyone. They are a commanding presence and their horns are pretty much their written history. Scarred, marred and telling a story of their own.

One of the most amazing gifts that none of us foresaw was another herd of elephants crossing the river in front of us, as if to say- we know you're leaving.

Such happiness and pure joy in entering the water
