Hippos, Giraffes, Warthogs... OH MY!

Boat ride and Game Drive in Botswana today! After customs in Zambia and Botswana, we began our excursion with a boat ride on the Chobe River...

We saw crocodiles, 

 LOTS of hippos,

Warthogs in the distance, 

water monitors, and a few other creatures.

Then, after a nice lunch of impala steak and warthog pie at a nice resort, we ventured out on our game drive..

We saw many giraffes

and many, many elephants,

who were getting very close

 and rolling in the mud!

We saw some cheeky monkeys...

and various other game animals.

Here's the official bird of Botswana...

And we made friends with some girls from Japan who took our photos at the stretch point!

After our day of wildlife, we went to a market to do a little shopping and then 

ate pizza at an Italian Restaurant!
