Birds of the Chobe

Every year when we go on safari in Botswana, we wrap up the trip with 3-4 nights in the Chobe area at Muchenje Lodge. Our normal routine there involves several hours each day on a comfortable boat cruising on the Chobe River. The abundance of wildlife is terrific, and the boat enables us to get very close to all of it including elephants, cape buffalo, hippos, lizards, crocs and so on. My personal favorites are the birds. Here are some of those wonderful creatures.
