Pod of Hippos Sleeping on Small Island

Camera: Canon EOS 350D; Lens: Canon 100-400 IS Zoom.

Location: Chobe National Park, the second largest park in Botswana, covers 10,566 sq km. It extends from the Chobe and Linyanti rivers in the north, down to Moremi Game Reserve in the south.

This massive park has one of the greatest concentrations of game on the African continent, including the world's largest elephant population, estimated to be in excess of 100,000.

A highlight of any safari to this part of Botswana is definitely a sunset cruise along the Chobe River, watching huge herds of elephants and other game congregate along the water's edge as the sun slides slowly below the horizon.
