ボツワナのチョベ国立公園は５００００頭の象が生息するところで、ゲームドライブ中もいたるところで象の姿を確認できました。iPhoneのカメラで他の動物たちも撮影したのですが、どうもいまいちなものばかりです。動物の姿を捕えるには、iphoneのズーム機能などの限界を感じました。
今回はゲームドライブが朝・夕と計３回する機会に恵まれたので、ライオン（メス３頭）、ヒョウ（母親と子）の肉食動物を見る機会にも恵まれたことは本当にラッキーだったと思います。ほかにも、キリン、シマウマ、カバ、ワイルドドック、バッファロー、インパラ、イボイノシシ、ワニ、バブーン（ヒヒ）やや鳥類など。
その手伝いをしてくれたのが、ガイド兼ドライバーのクリスさん。彼の視力には本当にびっくりする。僕も視力はいいんだけど、さすがに広大なアフリカの大地を見続けている人の視力にはかなわない。
Chobe National Park, Botswana is famous for elepants which inhabit roughly 50,000. During the game drives, we saw many, many elephants. I tried to take photos of other animals by iPhone, but most of them were not good enough to post. I found a limit to capture wild animals into photo frames.
Since my group this time was fortunate enough to do game drives 3 times in the morning and the evening, we had a chace to see 3 femaele Lions and 2 Leopards, a mother and a child. Of course, others were Girafs, Zebras, Hipos, Wild dogs, Buffalos, Imparas, Phacochoerus aethiopicus, Crocodiles, Baboons, and other wild birds.
Chris was a guide and driver to take us to a great wild safari. I was just surprised that his eye-sight was so good that he could tell and point out animals which were still far away from where we were.
