What a lovely experience. I was picked up from my hotel by a lovely tour guide- it was a chilly morning and the car was warm which was very thoughtful . He promptly took me to the border , sorted out stamping my passport .I was then transferred to another lovely tour guide who drove us to the Botswana border - he drove exceptionally well despite the state of the road in some parts . The drive felt short because I slept but I believe it’s a 75km distance .Once we got to Botswana we met another guide who was going to do the land game drive with us , we drove about 10 minutes and got to the Chobe National Park - the drive is short but can get chilly and windy because the vehicle is open so dress warm and wear a hat that is secure .the game drive on land was a treat , we even spotted lions that had just hunted a giraffe . The river cruise was magical , the elephants were swimming and the sunset on the way back was mesmerising.
