Victoria Falls to Namibia and Botswana

Our Final morning in Victoria Falls we boarded a helicopter and flew over the falls. Scary and exhilarating. The view was amazing. Hard to fathom how that much water can continually flow.Back to the hotel to catch the shuttle to Kasane, in Botswana then through immigration and within 30 minutes out of Botswana to Namibia side where the Zambezi Queen is moored.It is the most fabulous boat. Wonderful people, beautiful surroundings and great food and wine.Every day we went on a Boat Safari down the river or through Chobe National Park in these amazing 4x4's. We have seen elephants - huge herds- at the river banks, playing in the river, play fighting and rearing to scare us. Giraffe that are so timid - they run when you get close. Hippo who are scared of nothing - they own the river. They are so strong they can turn over 30' boats. They will charge if you get too close or if you are anywhere near their young. Our skipper Joseph would just power away every time they got close. The lazy water buffalo who would not move until you nearly hit them. Mind if they are angry they will attack. Baboons everywhere screeching and fighting. Racing up trees to check for danger. Impala are called McDonalds for Lions. They have a fur M on their bums. We left the Zambezi Queen today and headed for the Muchenje Safari Park about 100km away in the Middle of the Chobe National Park. Our "Hut" is wonderful. The view over the river is to die for. We had to be escorted back to the main lodge because the elephants were on the path and would not move. They look so gentle!!We are now off on a Safari Walk. The Guides take guns for protection but we hope they never have to use them.
