Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park - Back to Botswana...
Entering Botswana for the second time in the same number of days was great fun - we even got to walk between the two border posts as we needed to disinfect all of our shoes. We didn't need to do this at other border crossings. Crazy!! We drove all ...
