Bucket List Adventure

We connected with 18 lifers (new birds) on our trip, gorgeous herds of buffalo and elephant on the banks of the river, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets on the boat. Sometimes it felt like we were in a scene from one of David Attenborough’s documentaries! The lodge offered the most incredible hospitality, unbelievable dining, and stunning safari tents set along the banks of the Chobe River on Namibia’s Impalila Island.
