October 17, 2008 - Friday - Chobe River boat cruise, near Kazungula, Zambia

We spend several hours cruising slowly watching lots of wildlife along the Chobe River, right on the border between Botswana, Zambia and Namibia.  Lunch and snacks are included, and since the boat is covered and only has the two of us on it, we have a very pleasant start to the day.  Both Ernst and I are kept very busy taking both still photos and video.  The game are quite close, and the boat provides a reasonably steady platform for photography.  I don't forget to use my binoculars as well - the extra magnification and image stabilization make animal observation very rewarding.
