A Day in The Chobe National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Join us in The Chobe National Park as we showcase what it's like to spend a day with us in this amazing part of Botswana. Featuring beautiful footage from the Chobe River photo safaris that we do twice a day to a glimpse of behind the scenes at The Pangolin Chobe Hotel.
The Chobe National park is arguably one of Africa's best year-round wildlife photography destinations. We opened The Pangolin Chobe Hotel (home to Pangolin Photo Safaris) in 2018 The Chobe is famous for its huge elephant population as well as plenty of hippos, crocodiles, plains game and an abundance of birds - both migratory and resident species.
In The Chobe, we use specialised boats and vehicles to explore the Chobe National Park twice a day. We supply our clients with cameras and telephoto lenses (if required) free of charge and each time we go into the park you are accompanied by one of the Pangolin Photo Hosts
This was shot by our good friend Quintin MIlls. If you would like to know more about his work you can visit his site here: quintinmills.c...
We are Pangolin Wildlife Photography based in The Chobe, Northern Botswana. When we are not making videos for our channel we host our guests and clients from all over the world on our Wildlife Photography safaris throughout Botswana and the rest of Africa..and beyond sometimes too!

Have you been to The Chobe? If yes, please tell us about your favourite moment!
Not yet but will be travelling to the Delta in October. First ever safari and really looking forward to the experience.
Thanks for all your videos and tutorials.
Take care and remain safe, David
The first time I visited was in 1995, I can't believe it was nearly 30 years ago. Two things stick out in my mind, the first was just the sheer number of elephants, at one point there must have been 30 or 40 including several tiny babies. The second, was sitting in the bar in the evening listening to the hippos, I just love their vocalisations, even now hearing one on tv can make me feel warm and fuzzy 😊
We are booked for April 2023! Cant wait!
Awesome!
The moment I saw steve perry i understood how beautiful the place is.
We will be joining you on Friday for a Chobe experience .... a little excited !!
Great stuff....see you soon!
Cannot wait to come back someday.
You know where we are Jill!
I have spend so many wonderful moments on the Chobe with the Pangolin team. I loved the elephants, the african jacanas, the yellow-billed storks building their nests and so much more.
All wonderful sightings! Hope to see you again soon.
Lovely, made me long for Kasane and Chobe, a place about which I am passionate. Best wishes to you all.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved my May trip! Thank You for great game drives! Learned a lot…. Cannot wait to be back!!! Dumela!!! P.s. great coffee break Charl!
Cheers Eiko...(Toby)
Such a true capture of the culture you have created for your Chobe tours and retreats. Can't wait to come back and enjoy your hospitality and the Chobe.
Dont leave it too long!
The thing that Steve Perry joined the session means a lot to me.
Lovely video - hopefully we'll be back in 2023. The Chobe is fantastic.
See you next year then Mark!
Our first trip to Africa set for late October at the Pangolin Hotel! This video already has me thinking about the next trip - wonderful!
Stunning time of year too!
So on my bucket list 🙏 love you guys!
Thank you Nancy.
How can I choose just one moment...there were so many! Being able to try out a camera on the boat and on the safari vehicles was a highlight. Seeing so many elephants was spectacular. We saw several species of jackel too. The hotel and staff were sensational! The food was delicious. Next time..
We find a pangolin, ok?
We can but try!
Such a wonderful place! I hope to spend time there soon!
You should! Just let us know when!
Ah sweet memories!! I have spent so many wonderful moments with you, it's difficult to name a favorite. But seeing and hearing the elefants eating is definately among them. Love from Switzerland, Barbara
Wonderful!

Eager to visit as early as possible!!!

Very attractive impressions and perspectives !!
Can't wait until we are back out there again with you guys! (Roll on the autumn!)

See you soon!
excellent video and great behind the scenes
Wow Beautiful place..I love it❤️😍
Yes, thank you
@@PangolinWildlife you are welcome 🙂
There were so many special moments during my 7 night stay in April 2022. The stay was absolutely fantastic. For me the best moment is when Guts told me, during a group photo editing session, that he was jealous of one of my photos. It was a photo that was made possible by Pangolin loaning me a camera and lens after my Sigma 60-600mm Nikon mount lens failed on the FIRST day! Through the patience and expertise of Sarah and Janine, I learned to shoot with a Canon after 45 years of only using Nikon.
I have one photo that I took next to Guts in the Mara that he has admitted was better than his...Its my phone screensaver! - Toby ;-)
Great place, is definitely a place I want to go. I guess I recognize a wildlife photographer and UA-camr Steve Perry in the crowd.
Well spotted. if you are interested in photographing alongside Steve then check out his Botswana workshops here: backcountrygallery.com/africa-botswana-photo-safari-2/
Wow an amazing place I look forward to staying in 2023. I see you have a hide is that available for use at any time by the guests
Wow 👌
Wow indeed!
A fine video. The opening scene with the elephant in the river was great. Later, the African sunset I remember so fondly provided perfect silhouettes. Your staff seems great. I’m saving up!
Glad you enjoyed it. See you soon we hope.
Do you do the Kalahari Transfrontier safari entering from Botswana and into South Af.?
Great video guys. What rig are you using?
Hi Richard, thanks for the compliment.
I was using a Canon EOS R5 and an EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II mostly hand held, some shots with a DJI RS 2 Gimbal. For the longer shots i used an EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II.
Shout if you have any other questions.
Q
Cheers Quintin.
@@QuintinMills Thanks appreciate it. I have a question re your experience. Clearly the inbuilt 5 axis image stabilization cannot compete with the DJI RS but how effective is the inbuilt Canon IS for video. I guess it also depends on the lens focal length and so on.
@@richardruda267 So i am going to say that is is pretty darn capable for 90% of what you would need. There are times when wide open that there is a bit of a "wobble" on the outsides, but overall it is brilliant.
Obv a gimbal will always have smoother movement when walking / running / moving over terrain with a subject, but i find it easier to hand hold for more close quarter footage that i need to move to exactly where i need it when i need it.
I was able to handhold the 100-400 at 400mm successfully even on a moving boat so very impressed 🙂
@@QuintinMills Thanks Quintin.
Hi, do you cater for vegans? We are plant based and would love to come. All the best.
We do indeed!
Excellent! 🥰
Exacive decoration is bad idea thanks save forest
