“Chobe Game Lodge” (1973) Super 8mm Film Home Movie, Botswana, Elephant Hippos +

Film covers a trip to Botswana Africa where the filmmaker (Professor Prenter) captured footage of many kinds of animals in the wild. Professor Prenter did not have real steady hands so a lot of the footage is a little shaky, but he did manage to get some good shots in there.

There is a card that was used to reserve a table at the hotel that was included in the film. The inside has notes the professor wrote detailing the cost of gas, etc. and people he needed to send thank you notes to/take to dinner. Note included.
