On my recent “Cape Town to Victoria Falls Grand Explorer” tour I was fortunate enough to spend one of my last days in the small town of Kasane, in the northern part of Botswana. When staying in Kasane, the afternoon is spent on a three hour river cruise on the Chobe river. This river forms the border between Botswana and the Caprivi Strip of Namibia and is a wildlife lover’s paradise. The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park which is the third largest national park in Botswana and has one of the largest concentrations of game and birdlife in Africa. On the river cruise you can see large breeding herds of Elephant, various species of birds, the odd crocodile and hippo and many other animals as well as a spectacular sunset to end off another great day in Africa. Here’s just a sneak peak of what you can see.
