Vumbura Plains
#grassland
This time we were able to experience the northern part of the Okavango Delta with Wilderness. Vumbura Plains North is "THE" camp for us - brilliant service and staff. The game drives are very well organised and our guide Willie tracked lions and leopards thanks to his experience and tracking skills. A very special observation was the hunting of a pack of wild dogs. Truly spectacular!!! Whilst relaxing in our beautiful accommodation, which has been thought through to the last detail, we were regularly visited by elephants, kudus and warthogs. Hippos are present day and night. Many thanks to the entire Wilderness team, starting with Cara and the planning and ending with our guide Willie at the airstrip. A wonderful high-end experience.this is awesome and fastastic

Lion Encounter
close encounter with lions,not for the faint hearted,one of the best and craziest things we have ever done! This is a once in a lifetime adventure. We were given instructions before going out to the reserve to see the lions and coached on how to approach and touch them. We were with several other people in the group and all of us pet the two lions, who were brother and sister. One of the group was even rubbing the male's tummy while he was on his back. Later on, we were walking down a path when the male went by.I highly recommend for a wonderful experiance
In the Chobe National Park in Botswana, I saw the lion from a long distance. I also saw the thick and long elephant's whip for the first time. Many of my favorite purple-breasted Dharma are flying, the gazelle is dense, and the giraffes are in groups. Here is a bushy thick, Chobe River, ample water, very suitable for animal survival, is a paradise for animals.
