The cruise was for 3 hours and we weren't meant to get off the boat but one of us needed the toillet so we jumped ashore... only for one of the girls to shout and run back to the boat - she'd just seen a crocodile lurking in the bushes! We all jumped back in the boat after that.

The next day we went for a boat safari around Chobe on a little boat so we could get really close to the hippos and the crocodiles - I think we got a bit too close to this guy because he did a sort of fake charge at us at one point!

Me chilling out with the waterhogs aka pumba by the side of the road at one of our shop stops - this was a close as I was willing to get!

The next day we headed to Chobe National Park for a game drive. Unfortunately it's wet season there so all the animals don't have to go to the watering holes so they're really hard to spot... except the hippos which love all the water! There guys were chasing each other around and were suprisingly quick!

We were staying at a place called the waterfront so when we weren't whitewater rafting or on elephant safari we spent the time chilling out at the pool and at the bar which looked over the zambezi. This is the view from the bar the evening after our elephant safari.

The next morning we went for an elephant safari which was fun - elephants are huge! Unfortunately it rained the whole time so we made good use of the ponchos they provided and when it rains the animals all hide so we didn't get to see any apart from maybe a couple of birds but it was still fun to ride an african elephant.

I heard there was a golf course at livingstone so decided to take myself there one morning for a round. At a cost of $2 I also got myself a very able caddy who I'm not entirely convinced had played golf before but we had a fun morning of hunting round the bushes for ball - I only lost 3 in the end which wasn't too bad!
