2024 African Safari Plus: Chobe Game Lodge (6/18/2024)

Tuesday, June 18, 2024
A last minute errand to purchase stamps
and mail the first postcards of the trip (KSS)
A small bus with a luggage trailer picked us up at the hotel
for the hour-journey to the border with Botswana (KSS)
At the border just the two of us were taken by a safari
vehicle for another hour-ride to Chobe Game Lodge (KSS)
Perfectly round houses, perhaps now made with
white-washed brick, but based on the traditional
mud huts with thatched roofs  (KSS)
Roadside vendor (KSS)
Warthogs crossed in front of us (KSS)
Entrance porte cochère of Chobe Game Lodge

Despite arriving late, we were given lunch;

Spicy Buffalo Wings
Chobe Game Lodge room
The room and bathroom were decorated
with bougainvillea blossoms

The upper lodge room on the right had an infinity pool
flowing into a fountain
Warning about wild animals
Sure enough, warthogs outside the dining hall
(although they are not really predators!) (KSS)
Just passing through! (KSS)
