Coming down the Zambezi we ended up in a lodge on the edge of the Chobe National Park, close to the Namibian Border. That skinny sliver above the Chobe is part of Namibia, it is separated by the the jagged line which is the Zambezi River.
The Lodge is owned by an older English Couple and managed by a Gentleman and his wife who have lived in Africa for much of their life. The owner was there and this lodge had a tradition that everyone had their meals in one great room in one sitting. It certainly promoted fellowship and we met a number of interesting people. There were two couples there from the Midwest (Ohio or Indiana) and a couple or two from Europe. This was the only place where we did not have a private tour. To reduce the number of vehicles driving around the Chobe does not permit small groups . Consequently, there were 8 to 10 of us in the vehicle most of the time. The seats were tiered so everyone always had a good view. We enjoyed our group … they were all about our age and were easy to get along with. By This time we were getting a little animaled out so the tour had to be especially interesting to keep our attention. It was! We Flew to a city not to far from our lodge, drove a ways, then took a boat, then a short drive and we were there. Let’s check out the Chobe:

Every so often we had to get out of the vehicle and step into one of these pans filled with a disinfectant to stop the spread of disease. 
Guess it works … no one got sick!

From The Lodge 
We finished up in The Chobe, said “good bye” to all our new friends and departed for our trip to South Africa and Cape Town. We did every kind of transport but trains on this trip and Kensington set it all up. We were always met, escorted, expedited, and had very nice transportation and accommodations. Everyone we met that was affiliated with Kensington was professional, polite, and extremely competent. No hassles, no arguments, just delivery. It made the trip so much more stress free and enjoyable.
