CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
Chobe National Park in northern Botswana is famed for its huge elephant populations, vibrant birdlife, and exceptional water-based safari experiences along the Chobe River.
Why Visit Chobe
Visit Chobe for unforgettable boat cruises where you can watch elephants and hippos at close range, and for game drives that showcase buffalo, lions, and a rich diversity of species. Chobe’s proximity to Victoria Falls and its role in the greater Okavango–Linyanti ecosystem make it a perfect component of a Southern Africa safari loop.
What You’ll Love
You’ll love the intimate wildlife viewing from the water, the spectacular elephant congregations at water’s edge, and golden-hour photo opportunities on sunset cruises. Chobe is especially rewarding for photographers and birdwatchers.
Best Time to Visit
Peak wildlife (dry season): May–October — animals concentrate along the river, producing excellent sightings.
