We are now at our third camp, Chobe Chilwero. Last night we went on a game drive on the Chobe River in the National Park. We saw many crocodiles and hippos. On the game drive this morning we found a leopard stalking an impala. The impala was oblivious to the leopard and almost walked right into her. Just at the last minute the leopard pounced but the impala darted and got away. Then the impala turned back towards the leopard and began hissing and spitting at it. The leopard backed away and almost looked embarrassed. The impala grew braver by the minute and began approaching the leopard all the while making loud noises at it. The leopard started up the hill in retreat. Our guide took a side road and we got to the top of the hill just in time for the leopard to cross right behind us. Tom got this great photo.
