Sightings: The recent game viewing along the banks of the Chobe River has been outstanding.  Guests have frequently seen lion, wild dog and leopard along the river, along with the huge numbers of elephant always present in the Chobe National Park.  Among the more unusual bird sightings, those on the Ichobezi Safariboat were lucky enough to see a Martial Eagle attacking and killing a guinea fowl, and a Fish Eagle cracking open the shell of a tortoise to get to its hapless dinner.

Unusual Fact: Traditionally Fish Eagles will lay two eggs at a time but when the chicks are hatched, the one chick will be killed allowing for the other chick to thrive.  However it has been noted recently that because Fish Eagles along the Chobe have access to such rich food sources they are more often than not now raising both chicks successfully.
