Sept 17, Day 25

One last morning in Africa so of course, we wanted to squeeze in another game drive. This one was so much different. 

Because Chobe National Park is on the river border between Botswana and Zambia, there is a lot of wildlife. In numbers, we probably saw as many animals this morning as we did on our right game drives in Hwange.

That was great but the down side is we were squeezed into a jeep with nine and I couldn't begin to count the number of jeeps. So many, that there is a park rule that no jeep can stop longer than 5 minutes. That was one thing that made it different. Another was that Robins Camp has three vehicles and drivers. Because Robins wasn't very busy, we got our own driver so they could keep them all working. Having m own driver meant we could just hang watching animal behavior. 

That said, seeing massive numbers of wildlife together is impressive.

There's a log looking raft of hippos on the left in the middle.

We have started it long journey back. Kasane to Johannesburg, with a very long layover, Johannesburg to Atlanta with four hour layover, Atlanta to San Francisco and one hour Uber home. 

We are agreeing, at the start, that it will have been worth it.
