Our Last destination, Chobe River, Kasane in Botswana.
Toro Lodge & Camping on the Chobe River. Now this is what us South Africans would call a camp site.
Each site has it's own private ablution block with a place to wash-up the dishes, toilet and hot shower.
We took our last 'Sundowners Cruise on the Chobe River'
Beautiful shot of the Chobe River.
