We rented a private motorboat and rode the chobe river for several hours. During the cruise we saw amazing, funny and even scary shows. We opened the cruise on a tour near a crocodile, so close we could barely touch it. Were amazed by the giant reptile that was considered one of the dangerous animals. Later we met in an amazing Buffalo band that came to the pasture land to eat its breakfast. The boat continued to travel and the children were simply in ecstasy from the stunning views and the closeness to the wild animals. Later on we had a really scary meeting with a hippopotamus, we got on the boat just off the river where the hippos were eating their breakfast, one of the hippos decided that it was just the right time to enter the river! When we saw that the hippopotamus was approaching us the guide turned on the boat and began to walk away, But at this very moment when the hippo really approached us, running and swimming, our boat stopped working! At this moment we were all really stressed and the children were screaming a little bit scared, but do not worry about a minute later the guide managed to run the boat and we managed to escape this amazing animal. Hippopotamus is a very dangerous animal and there are many accidents of attacking hippos in humans in Africa and elsewhere in the world where hippos live. After this terrifying experience we continued on a calm cruise in the river, and then we met in a large elephants family who decided that this was a really good time to cross the chobe river. We saw the elephants crossing the river swimming, the elephants playing with one another and climbing up the other as they crossed the river, the children asked the guide: "How can the elephants not drown, they weigh between 4 and 6 tons each?" The guide explained to us that the belly of the elephants actually contains a lot of air so they can swim because the air in their stomach serves as a float on the water. Later on the cruise we saw many rare birds that can be seen only in the chobe river in Kasana Botswana, we saw many more amazing animals and enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend if you come to Kasana in Botswana to take a private cruise with a private guide, it's not cost much more then a public cruise, but it's worth a lot more, it's just an amazing experience not to be missed if you arrive in Kasana Botswana. In Swahili, the word safari means journey and is mainly aimed at hunting and exploring. Nowadays, however, the word safari is generally associated with adventure and the discovery of habitats and wildlife of the African land. And many people have experienced how truly remarkable an experience an African Safari can be in recent years. An African safari can be undertaken in various ways, by driving throughout the African wildland or through fly-in safaris. There are four basic types of safari through Africa: -permanent tented safaris -mobile safaris -lodge safaris -theme-based safaris, such as canoing, elephant-back, horseback or honeymoon safaris An African safari through Southern and Eastern Africa usually takes between 10 and twenty days. There are a few things you should do to make sure your African safari is not only exciting, but also safe. While you are planning an African safari tour, it is highly recommended to choose a well-trained an experienced safari guide, or a local tour operator who is very familiar with local conditions and etiquette. You should also make sure all the essential things for the safari are included in the package, such as accommodation, meals, ground transportation, excursion, guide or driver service and transfers. Some of the most popular African safari destinations are Okavango Delta, Cape Town and Winelands, Kruger Park and Sabi-Sands, Chobe Park, Namib Desert, Victoria Falls, Etosha Park, Mount Kenya, Bazaruto Archipelago, Ngorongoro Crate, Forest Gorilla Treks and Kilimanjaro Mountains. African weather conditions are generally good throughout the whole year, but autumn and winter are the best seasons for safaris. You can undertake an African safari in various ways, such as on horseback or on the back of an elephant; walking, flying, ballooning or driving through the African land. Either way you choose to do it, you will get a truly memorable experience. Once again though, it is essential to choose a tour operator with a lot of experience, strong knowledge of the local language and great contacts in Africa.
