Going to Botswana Chobe National Park

We fly from South Africa to Zimbabwe and then we drive over the border to Botswana to go to our lodge in Chobe National Park. We meet our new guide Blessing and during the  three hour drive we learn a little about the area. We are very lucky to see a group of sable antelopes, the national animal of Zimbabwe, cross in front of us. They were hunted for their beautiful coats so there are not as many as they used to be and now it's not common to see them. Also, unfortunately we see the body of a dead elephant right by the highway. The lodge was by the Chobe river and as soon as we arrived we saw all sorts of animals by the water. We had an awesome sunset to end the day!
