The Chobe riverfront is packed with wildlife! Virtually every southern African species, except the rhino, is represented here. We took an afternoon/sunset cruise on a boat that could cruise very close to the shore and were rewarded with more creatures than our eyes or minds could handle.

| Cape Buffalo - the most dangerous animal in Africa |
 |
| Even more dangerous than this big fella' |
 |
| They had a tough time convincing me! |
 |
| The Cape Buffalo is more dangerous huh? |
 |
| Hippo's are dangerous too! They just look cuter |
 |
| I'd tell you what it is but all I can remember is that it's a bird...oh yeah, it's a Snake Neck Bird |
 |
| Cattle Egret |
 |
| ..and we all know what this is... |

 |
| Did you know that hippo mark their very large territory by twirling their tail and spreading their dung like a windmill, both in and out of the water |
 |
| We were as fascinated watching this wildlife photographer at work, as we were...... |
 |
| ....watching this snake board her boat |
 |
| Her guide spotted it and set it free |
 |
| After she took a couple of pics |
 |
| Who're you looking at with your mouth open? |
 |
| Monkeys along the river bank |
 |
| They look harmless enough |
 |
| Southern Ground Hornbill |
