Chobe National Park

If you ever want to go on a Safari and don't know where to go: I highly recommend taking a trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana. The park is one of the largest in the world and is located on the banks of the Chobezi river, in both Botswana and Namibia. The views are absolutely breathtaking.

Chobe is home to over 150,000 elephants; whenever you think you are alone, two or three or twelve of them will pop out of the bush. Never have I ever seen more elephants in one place (in nature or captivity) in my entire life. No photo can ever replicate what we saw, but I hope this one gives you a snippet. All of the black dots in the background are elephants.

We went on a water safari in the morning, where we saw countless hippopotamuses, crocodiles, elephants and water buffaloes. Then, in the afternoon, we went cruising around in a safari truck and saw iguanas, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, eagles, wild dogs, colorful birds and more of the same animals.
