Chobe National Park

Today was a busy day for wildlife shooting. I started with a game drive in Chobe National park at 0600. There are loads of Elephants in the park and a number of species of Antelope that I had not filmed before including the beautiful Sable. We struck out on big cats, but saw tracks of both Leopard and Lion and had a lot of watchful activity of some of the wildlife that had probably spotted them. We also came across the body of an Elephant that was being devoured by Vultures.

In the afternoon, we did a cruise on the Chobe River that defines the northern edge of the park and is the border between Botswana and Namibia. While it was difficult to shoot RED footage from the boat, there were lots of opportunities. We must have seen a total of at least 200 Elephants along the bank and on the small flat grassy islands in the river. Lots of Hippos and crocs too. Tomorrow we head off early for a long overland to Maun at the edge of the Okavango Delta.
