Chobe
River, Namibia
After
a final morning game drive in Zimbabwe (on the 18th), we went by bus
to the Botswana border. Clearing immigration, we then got on a small
boat for a short ride on the Chobe River to a second border crossing
so that we could enter Namibia where we would be spending most of
our time. The Zambezi Queen is a luxurious river boat with fourteen
suites, each having a balcony so that sunrise and sunset can be seen
from the privacy of one's room or upstairs in the lounge/bar/dining
area. I cannot say enough words of praise for the boat, the service,
the dining, and for all who work on this “floating paradise.” Joy
at the bar remembered that I enjoy sparkling wine before dinner,
Rosemary made sure my suite was perfectly made up, Bernard taught me
about birds and the history of Namibia, and Vincent pointed out
constellations in a night sky so full of stars that its beauty cannot
be described with words
There
is nothing like a sunrise or sunset seen from the Chobe River. Sounds
of animals, oblivious to anything but their own needs, provide a
musical backdrop. There is a pervasive stillness in the air and a
magic that is only found in Africa.
Video is in Namibia, not Botswana as recorded.
