Chobe National Park An hour's drive from Victoria Falls back into Botswana and arrival at Muchenje Lodge in the Chobe National Park. Chobe is famous for elephant numbers and there were many seen as well as lots of evidence on the ground. Impala were numerous as well as giraffe, buffalo and hippo amongst the many species of animals, and birds, observed. The Lodge was well appointed and a comfortable stay was absolutely assured. |
