There are thousands of baboons along the banks of the Chobe River. They live in groups or colonies of anywhere from a dozen to over a hundred. Their social life, their antics, the playing babies, are all mesmerizing. We could, and did, watch them for hours.

Portrait of an Elder will soon be available in our Fine Art Gallery.
