Our first stay was at Chobe Game Lodge [https: /www.chobegamelodge.com/], on the Chobe River. It was a great way to begin our first safari adventure all together, with lamenities we were used to, such as a/c in the rooms. I will never forget Ishmael, the lodge’s environmentalist, or to us, the man who tracked down our luggage after it was lost on the flight. We safaried for a day-and-a-half in our dresses and flip flops, which looking back just adds a special momemnt. I saw a herd of elephants, to include many baby calves — in a dress. Chobe Game Lodge was the first lodge in Botswana to have all female guides. ------ Ishmel and the female guides with Nancy Levicki
