Here is a blog posting written by our first guide of our first leg of our three back to back safaris . We are still here in Africa with limited internet.

Cheers,

https://www.cnpsafar...th-cnp-safaris/

The blog says we have made five trips with the company... should have said we have made 12 safaris traveling five time with the company to Africa.

Glad you enjoyed a small sample. We are at the Chobe river, Botswana and it is rain and dark skies. No going out on the river so far today.

Fantastic! What a cool company to work with, and incredible wildlife. That serval cat is stunning.

I've been to Uganda once, and was fortunate to photograph the wildlife, but it was with modest equipment. I've always wanted to return.

Pvstoy it sounds like your Loop was/is slightly north of the one we took last year and we overlapped at Chobe.
The river tour is amazing in that the animals are, for the most part, ambivalent to your presence.

Here’s a picture of a beautiful leopard we took last year who was just sunning himself on the banks of the Chobe. We were able to watch him for over 10 minutes..Fantastic!

Next week we’re going back..this time to Namibia to cross the oldest desert in the world..
