I love the photo boats we're now using at Chobe National Park as it allows us angles like this. Love to hear your feedback.

Nice shot and it is a unique angle, probably much safer in the boat too.

That is Very nice. I can only echo the above: I love the composition that angle allowed. It made the photo very interesting to me.

Excellent shot. Never got that sort of a look at them, although we saw hundreds of buffalo. Mostly we just saw then grazing along through the bush.

When were you there? When I was there there in October wasn't enough water for a boat. The river was just a string of large water holes. We did see a huge herd of Zebras (stretched for more than a mile), which the guide said would be gone, scattered out across the park as soon as the rains started.
