Chobe National Park, Botswana: All day safari

Yes, I saw all of these animals with my own eyes, and took all of these pictures myself. There are several animals and birds that I could only see through the binoculars generously lended to me by Rena, the most interesting of which was a family of 3 black-backed jackals!

Impala

Two buffalo, and a sleeping hippo with a friendly bird.

Crocodile

Two open-mouthed crocs with an elephant in the background.

Me with a hippo family! Cute baby hippo. #hungryhungry

Elephants were crossing the marsh waters, and play-fighting as they went!

More play-fighting elephants!

Multi-generational elephant family. Love the babies!

Tribal negotiations.

Lilies! <3

This is a hornbill like Zazu from Lion King!

Bone yard - these are buffalo bones.

Why did the elephant cross the road? To get some food after a mud-bath.

Lazy hippo. #notsohungryhungry

Another baby elephant! <3

Silly giraffe.

Giraffe herd!

A lioness! Sarabi? She was a very old, sickly lioness lying beside a elephant carcass to protect her pack's food from vultures.

More giraffes!

These are called kit.

A stork flock!

One last elephant...there are over 50,000 in Chobe!
