Botswana Chobe National Park: The Land of a Million Elephants (photography vlog)

Botswana is wild.
Almost the entire country is protected and wildlife roam free as nature intended. I spent most of my time in Chobe National park, right on the border of Namibia and Zambia a few kilometers from the famed Victoria falls. The river valley is home to over a quarter million wild elephants. I saw a couple thousand of them on my 4 day safari. We took a boat along the river and got a front row view to these majestic animals splashing and swimming along the river. I felt like I was front row on a nature documentary the entire time. They are such playful animals. It was an incredible couple days and here is how it happened.

I loved you since I saw you documenting on my beautiful home country Lesotho 🇱🇸

[@thetravelingzam]

Lesotho is gorgeous!!

[@dr.kashifulhaq6372]

Wow Man. Just going through your channel list. Watching your Africa series. LOVED IT. Didn't know you are a wild life lover too. Great.❤ Chobe is the most lovable park . The photography of the elephants were extraordinary. And lodge was nice too, with great food.❤

[@thetravelingzam]

Yeah I love safaris! Heading back to africa in a few months to do more

[@dr.kashifulhaq6372]

@@thetravelingzam That's great to hear.

[@paulmofo7023]

Botswana its awesome

[@thetravelingzam]

Yes it was! Love so much if africa

[@thematthewreed]

Super cool video! I really like the mix of narration, video, and photography. I've always wanted to go on an African safari, so this was a great taste of what that would be like! Thanks for sharing!

[@thetravelingzam]

Safaris are one of my favorite travel activities. You could go to the Chobe so many times and have a completely different experience. You should definitely go!

[@franii2818]

I'd really like to go on a safari someday......I love nature but ain't ready to do it solo I need a travelling partner.

[@thetravelingzam]

You can do it! Would be nice to share the memories but solo travel allows you to make all the decisions :)

[@pamelia7788]

This would have been nice without the LOUD music

[@thetravelingzam]

Sorry about that. It was one of my first videos on the channel. Hopefully now the mixes are a bit better but let me know if the music is still too loud

[@quickstrum]

This should’ve been titled, “A photographers trip to Botswana Chobe National Park….. where you see lots of him, & even some real elephants over his shoulder!” SMH 👎🏼

[@thetravelingzam]

I’m sorry you didn’t like it. My goal was to make a video blog giving some context to how I got there and how I experienced the park and help other travelers. Of course I will make a highlight video showing just elephants as well!
