Chobe National Park covers over 11,000 sq km/4,250 sq miles and has the highest concentration of elephants in Africa. There are at least 50,000 elephants there although some say it’s more. We did a game drive in the afternoon and then a river boat river on the Chobe River where we saw some hippos up close and got a great sunset. The game drive was awesome because the animals are so used to cars coming and going that they don’t get scared and run away. Some elephants came right up to us and were within about 2 feet of me! Here are some videos of Elephants Playing and of Elephant getting close! Here’s a funny video of a Giraffe Running.
Notice how close the elephant is to our jeep.
This picture was taken with ZERO zoom…the elephant was that close. I probably could have touched it!
These guys actually climbed into the river and walked/swam across it. It’s cool how they can go under water, but they use their trunk as a snorkel.
Notice how they’re using their trunk as a snorkel.
