Chobe

We just finished a couple of fantastic days in Kasane and Chobe National Park. This will be a shorter update as the computer we're on could crash at any moment and the keyboard is one of those mini-rubber ones (read: very hard to type).

We saw more wildlife in the 24 hours than we did in the entire trip before it.  Yesterday was pretty amazing.  In the morning we went for a boat cruise down the Chobe River, which was amazing.  The highlight was seeing a herd of about 15 elephants swim across part of the river to an island.  The water was deeper than their heads, and they used their trunks as snorkels!  We spent the afternoon and evening in the national park.  Our game drive was incredible.  We saw every kind of wildlife around every corner.  We saw lions for the first time on this trip, which was very cool.  This morning on our way out of the park, we were able to say for the first time that we have seen all of the "Big Five" as we spotted a young leopard right near our vehicle.

There are a lot more stories to tell, but this keyboard is becoming increasingly frustrating, so we'll save it for Victoria Falls.  That is where we are headed today.  We'll get another stamp on our passports (at a cost of $55 each) as we enter Zimbabwe.  We're looking forward to all the activities that the Falls have to offer!  We'll pass along another update from there later today or tomorrow!
