Once in a Lifetime ~ AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! MESMERIZING!
AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! MESMERIZING!
While I'm sure any safari in Chobe would have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it absolutely exceeded my dreams. I attribute this to our guide, Leo, who made the entire trip unforgettable. Even though we visited during the off-season, the park was quieter, which actually made the experience even more enjoyable. The knowledge Leo shared with us truly set this experience apart from any others. He is, for sure, an animal whisperer. We had friends on separate safaris in Chobe at the same time, and they didn’t have nearly the experience we did.
The wildlife, of course, was spectacular. We were lucky enough to see tons of baby animals during the off-season, which made it extra special during this time of year. Leo was great at tracking all the animals. We even saw the lion king roar as he woke up for the night.
Camping was very comfortable. The food was great, and there was even a hot shower! Jacob and MP treated us very well back at camp with hot meals and anything we needed.
I highly recommend camping, even if you're not usually a fan. Being able to stay right in the park means you don’t have to leave early, like you do with a day trip, and you get to experience things you wouldn’t otherwise, like hearing the actual Lion King's roar as he wakes up for the night! It was an experience I’ll never forget. I could go on and on about the wildlife, but you'll have to see for yourself when you do a safari with [insert safari company name here].
I’ve done two other safaris but nothing compares to this one. If you are going to Chobe...make sure you go with Leo/ Kalahari Tours, Kasane, Botswana!
