North of Botswana, the Chobe natural park has one of the largest concentration of African animals, and we are going to verify this.
After a short ride and camp setting at Kasune, we hop on a boat to start a cruise until sunset. Nice top deck for observation & tanning, even though we definitely look like big tourists... ;-))

| Buffalo drinking on the shore |
Surprisingly (at least to me), elephants swim through the center of the river to reach swamps where they can eat and drink without constraints, quite amazing to see (and hear!!)

On the shores of the river, herds of elephants are walking around... so many that you cannot even count them, I think we are done with our elephant viewing!
 |
| So so many elephants seen drinking on the shore! |
 |
| What's your count? |
 |
| Walking elephants... with a nice water reflection ;) |
 |
| Just to show how close the boat can be to the animals... as they are protected and are never hunted here, absolutely no fear, just few wondering look from time to time! |
 |
| A hippo family! the young one just disappeared for the pic under the water |
It is a sunset cruise... so it requires again sunset pics! So here they are...
