Safari Game Drive in Chobe, Botswana - Africa Day3 Pt2

Evening Game Drive in Chobe National Park was another awesome adventure! The 3 of us together with the American family hopped inside a 4x4 vehicle for our afternoon game drive!






At Chobe National Park Office - all visitors should register themselves here before entering the park.

And the adventure began... 

These antelopes are beautiful!

Female red lechwe antelopes

A kudu - look at those horns! Awesome!

Baboons 

And of course - lotsa elephants again. 

Watch out for that elephants daddy! The kids were so excited!



Eh... kerbau afrika pun suka berkubang ke? :D

Amazing view... Subhanallah..,

Nampak tak hippo celah2 tu...

African Bufflo's horn is really something :D

Kudo - another animal with amazing horn!

A family of giraffe

Warthogs

Not sure the name of that animal... (damn my lost notes again *sigh!*)

Looking at the horn, this is a skull of  an african buffalo I believe...


 The famous African elephants; a staggering 70,000 are estimated to live in the park.

Did you guys see vultures in this pic?
The vulture is a large, carnivorous bird that is most well known for its scavenging nature.


Short break under a tree in Chobe National Park. Light refreshment was provided.

 Continuing our journey... 





We could see some boats cruising the Chobe River like we did this morning...

Ohh... There's an elephant with a baby behind us...


The baby elephant is so cute :D

And we are back to the Chobe National Park Office. What?? That's all?? :((
I didn't get to see all famous Big Five  -
1. African elephants - checked!
2, African Cape buffaloes - checked!
3. Lions - nope :(
4. Leopards - nope :(
5. Rhinos - Nope :(

I also didn't see any zebras :((
A bit disappointed here :'((

At the Botswana Border... 

At the border, I noticed a few african women carrying heavy things on their head...
They work hard for the money… May Allah ease their daily task...


The American family were staying in Livingstone, Zambia. 
A car ferry operates across the Zambezi River to/from Zambia.
Bye! It was really nice meeting and knowing all of you ;)

We were then sent to the Zimbabwe border, where the Shearwater Travel Agent waited for us and sent us back to Victoria Falls Rest Camp.
It was one of the most unforgeable adventure of a lifetime for yours truly! ;)

Dinner for that night was nasi impit instant! haha! :P

Well, more adventure await for us the next day. Will continue on Day 4 adventure in Africa later.
*to be continued*
