It was a breath-taking view but not much wild life seen.

One of the best, but busy national parks in Southern Africa

Chobe National Park in Botswana is one of the most amazing national parks in the world. You can see four of the Big Five in a single morning. You can possibly see a leopard strolling around, lions preparing for a hunt or Bufallo sharing a bath with Elephants.

Best of all this can be done with a game viewer or boat and you will have some of the most amazing wildlife and birding experiences.

However, there are so many visitors to the national park as well as the surrounding lodges that it feels like month end shopping sometimes. Instead od trolley bashing at Walmart, you will see 30+ game viewers fighting for a spot next to lions or leopards. Unfortunately, some of the accommodations have also become complacent and customer service could be better.

Ngorongoro Crater.

We drove up to the crater and coulndt see anything because of all the fog, I was thinking there goes a great day...
I couldn't be more wrong!
When we drove in we saw the complete crater and al of his beauty.
In there the landscape mainly excist out of grasland we saw Buffalow's, wilderbeast, zebra's, lion's, antilope's, hogwarts, some Elephants, a huge group of flamingos and a Giraffe on the edge.
Al of the craters edges are filled with bushes and trees, great for pictures.
After a great tour we went back up the edge and had the most beautifull view of the entire crater, I loved it!

I certainly recommend going there!

Best Regards,
Jeroen

Probably the most special place i ever saw.
Still speechless about the beautiful view from the crater rim.
Wildlife is unbelieveable.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in the world. It has so much biodiversity. The animals are everywhere and so near to the road. We were also lucky to see the black rhino while we were here.

Good place to see a high density of animals all living close to each other, with a great vista at the top. Best place to catch the infamous rhino. Definitely one of the busier parks, so feels a little bit less like a national park and more like a tourist attraction. Harder to get photos, unless game drive goes further away from the heavy traveled areas.

We visited Ngorongoro Crater during a wonderful 3-day safari with Soul of Tanzania, stayed in a Sanctuary crater camp at the rim, which was a great experience. The game drive in the crater was awesome, including scenery, and by far not as crowded as we expected. We were lucky to spot almost all kinds of wildlife. Had a great time there!
