Another day around the Chobe Natiolanl Park. We dieided to start from the western end of the park, as recommended by some other friends in Gabs, and make our way towards Kasane during the day. The road to the Ngoma Gate is tar, and because I do not feel too well, Esther takes the driver’s seat and takes us there. She seems to enjoy it and finds the Toyota not that difficult to drive.
At the gate I take over as the road is sandy in the park, and there again magnificent sights and lots of game. 
A particular large hippo is lying in the bush and the BDF (Botswana Defence Force) that caught up with us at that time thought it might be dead. We told them that we did heard it make a noise, but they insisted on going and having a
look. As they got out of their Land Rover, the hippo made another noise and they decided it was alive and ran back into their car while telling us that it was alive and that we should make sure we stay in our car! 
Lunch at Ihaha campsite, one of those camps that is now run by a private company. The change is recent so not much has been done so far. We slowly get into watching birds as they are many more different species than large animals. 
But there are still some amazing mammals!
At the end of the day, one of the nicest sunset, picture perfect.Dinner at our camp and ready for the trip to Zimbabwe tomorrow.
