Chobe National Park – Savuti Camp Chobe National Park is located in northern Botswana. This is the part of Africa where most of all African elephants live.

Namibia – a review We were asked to visualize the track of the journey, if possible on a map. We are happy to comply and try to give a short review of our impressions. In Namibia, we were completely free in our decisions, since we had not pre-booked any accommodations/campsites, with two exceptions. If we

Their favorite pastime was to storm the treetops and chase at a monkey’s pace the pigeons slumbering in the treetops. These usually fluttered one treetop over, so this game could well
Bird watching at its best Drotsky’s Cabins was on our wish list very early. This lodge is visited for two reasons: birding and fishing. Right now it is not fishing season, and we are not fishermen.
