Trip to Kasane

I hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take some time to reflect on our recent journey to Kasane, Botswana, and the Chobe River. The experience was truly remarkable, and we would like to share some of our thoughts and observations

Our day began early as we left our hotel near Dukwi, eager to start the long drive towards Kasane. It was a beautiful morning with clear blue skies, and we were excited about the adventure ahead. On our way, we went through bird sanctuary near Nata and saw some beautiful wildlife and vegetation.

We stopped for lunch at a lovely restaurant called "Hungry Lion" in Nata, where we were served delicious fried chicken and crispy french fries.

After lunch, we continued our journey towards Kasane, eagerly anticipating our river cruise. Finally, we arrived at the Chobe River, located near Kasane, which forms the border between Namibia and Botswana. We learned that if we had continued for another 10 kilometers, we would have seen the point where Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia converge.

The Chobe National Park is a wildlife lover's paradise, with the highest concentration of elephants per square kilometer in the world. It was truly a breathtaking sight to see herds of these gentle giants up close, foraging and bathing in the waters of the Chobe River. The river is not only famous for its herds of elephants but also for buffalos and predators such as large prides of lions that have learned to hunt them. We saw numerous antelopes, plain game, and herds of hippos wallowing in the shallow waters of the river. It was a magical experience to witness these animals in their natural habitat.
