There were times on our African Safari in Botswana in May 2019 that we felt as if we had stepped into the Lion King movie. There were so many animals in all directions, there was literally more to see than could ever be seen.
Zazu the hornbill delivered the morning report. 
“Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all
Elephants remember, though just what I can’t recall
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks
Showed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said “No thanks!”
We haven’t paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunch
Not everyone invited will be coming back from lunch”
We met Pumbaa and Timon, although they were not singing Hakuna Matata. Pumbaa lived up to his messy reputation, and seemed always covered in muck.
And we saw many moments that reminded us of the circle of life; many family moments and protective parents of their babies, mating rituals, and the unfortunate remnants of those who did not survive but provided sustenance for others.

And of course, we saw Scar!
“Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars”
“On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life”
Although there was far too much to take in here and more to find than can ever be found, we did our best and took many, many images to celebrate our adventures in Botswana at Chobe National Park. To see more of our trip, click here.
