These are just a few photos of some of the larger animals. We got quite close to the animals on occasion. You can see that in these photos.

In the first photo, the Chobe River is at the bottom of the ridge, right behind the giraffes. The bulk of the land in the background is in Namibia, though the giraffe’s are in Chobe National Park.

We saw plenty of Kudu, mostly in groups of three to five. The kudu didn’t seem too alarmed when we were nearby them.

Stripes on a zebra are like our fingerprints, in that each one is unique. You can notice that in addition to white and black, they also had brown stripes.

This is a sable. We saw less sable than kudus but we still saw plenty, sometimes in groups of around a dozen.

These two are cape buffalo. Unlike in eastern Africa, we only saw small groups in southern Africa with the largest group being about twenty.
