skilled guide). We should see bushbuck, a plethora of birds, the shy sitatunga and semi-aquatic lechwe antelope, and perhaps even buffalo and elephant. Days 6-11 Chobe National Park / Private Mobile Camps / Victoria Falls Our private flight across the Okavango Delta sets us down in Chobe, a legendary elephant refuge and one of the best places to find lion, leopard, and large herds of giraffe, kudu, vervet monkey, and baboon. At night, Chobe comes to life with the “whooping” calls of wild dog, the rumbles of elephant, and even the cackling cries of hyena. From our camp in the Serondella area, we enjoy a private cruise on the Chobe River to photograph the big herds of tuskers who amble down to the river at sunset. Our safari ends at Victoria Falls, the mile-wide cascade of the Zambezi River. Depart on Day 11.
