Saddle-billed Stork at Chobe River

The Chobe River, tracing Botswana's northern border along Chobe National Park where the country meets Namibia, Zambia & Zimbabwe, is a perennial lifeline through this corner of Africa & a superb setting in which to find the Saddle-billed Stork. Photographers joining the Wildlife of the Chobe River holiday typically visit in October, when the waterway's presence draws wildlife along its banks & offers steady opportunities to observe this striking bird. Working from the riverside gives a natural, uncluttered backdrop for capturing the stork against the water. It's a rewarding location for building a varied portfolio of Chobe's birdlife within a single trip.
