Testimony: I chose Free write and inspiration word ‘Dream’. My journaling is on the tags
behind the large photo. It is about all the years I’ve been dreaming to go back
to the Chobe for a holiday and not just passing through en route to Victoria Falls . Well, I DID live my dream and went there
during September 2013. There are thousands of elephant in the Chobe and one can
get very close to them by doing a cruise on a river boat. Whilst we were there,
there were lots of new born baby elephant and they were just adorable! The
Chobe National Park hosts numerous assorted wild animals and birds and the park
is a photographer’s paradise. Chobe is situated where Namibia, Botswana,
Zimbabwe and Zambia more or less meet. We camped in Kasane at the Chobe River
Lodge (Botswana) along the Chobe River. We spent 4 nights there, did tiger fishing, boat cruises and also
went to Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls. One afternoon when we got back at the camp,
we caught the baboons in the act whilst rummaging through the grocery boxes,
turned the rubbish’bin’ over and made such a mess!!! Like my mother used
to say: "there's nothing soap and water cannot clean!" Just
a bit of team effort and no evidence was left behind :-)
