Sunset at Chobe National Park, Botswana: Snapshot Sunday

We were lucky enough to ride right through Chobe on our 2008 Tour D’Afrique. After a hard day of riding we got in early enough to enjoy a river safari in the park. We were treated to sightings of Elephants, Hippos, Alligators etc. But it was at sunset at Chobe National Park that brought out the true beauty of this magnificent landscape.
