(From 8/9/2019) After breakfast, we’ll transfer overland to Kasane, Botswana, where we’ll be taken through customs. In Kasane, we’ll have some time to shop in town. We’ll then transfer to the Elephant Valley Lodge in Chobe National Park, where we’ll spend the next three nights seeking out game, and also going on a wildlife cruise down the Chobe River.
After lunch this afternoon, we enjoy our first game-viewing drive in Chobe National Park. It was the first national park established in Botswana and it remains one of its largest, with 4,500 square miles of area. The vast size allows for incredible diversity of terrain, from floodplains and marshes to forest and woodlands. More than 50,000 elephants call this park home, making it one of the world’s largest populations.
