Day 2 saw us making a very early start, awake at 4:15 in the morning, editing some photos and video from Day 1, coffee and a light breakfast at 5:00 and a 5:30 departure to Chobe National Park gate in the game drive vehicle.
Our first sighting of the day, was a group of Southern ground hornbills. It was still quite dark, but we did manage to get a shot or two
Next up, was a pretty grumpy looking lion, who wasn’t overly impressed with the vehicles filled with humans, crowding him and soon disappeared into the bush
We saw numerous Marabou storks, not the prettiest birds, probably best looked at in black & white
Various bee-eaters, lilac-breasted rollers and a few baboons made up the rest of the morning
In the afternoon, we were back to the river. Once again a rainstorm came through, delaying our departure. This time, though, we were also caught by a second rainstorm which caught us on the river, just as we were about to start. We quickly had to cover all our camera gear and ourselves with rainproof covers and ponchos (thanks Sabine for the photo). 
A malachite kingfisher was also taking shelter from the rain under a tree. 
Once the rainstorm passed, we proceeded with the afternoon’s photography activities on the river, again seeing an abundance of bird life, including bee-eaters, African darter, egrets and fish eagles
Baboons, as always, contributed to the afternoon’s entertainment
Crocodiles, dragonflies and hippo’s were not to be ignored
The afternoon ended with a spectacular sunset
Back at the hotel, Robson did not let us down and we had an excellent supper, before getting back to work, downloading, culling, selecting and editing our photos of the day.
