Chobe (Botswana)

Chobe was absolutely wonderful. An abundance of wildlife, including lion, and the park itself was beautiful with its wide waterway and vast African sky.  The only minus was that poor Antony and Matt weren't able to share it due to passport issues.

The lodge where we started from had the most beautiful basins in the loo I've ever seen.
