Why

Chobe National Park nestles in northern Botswana and is renowned for Africa's largest herds of elephant and Cape Buffalo. Considered to be Botswana's oldest reserve, Chobe offers a true wilderness experience with private concessions and camps that are unfenced and open to free roaming wildlife.

When

Chobe National Park can be visited throughout the year. Wildlife migrates through the park with the seasons. The riverfront area is best visited in the dry months, from May to October. August to October are the optimum months for wildlife viewing here, but it gets extremely hot at that time. During the wet months, many animals, plains zebras specifically, migrate to the Savuti Marsh. Linyanti is best visited from April onward.

Where

There are three significant areas that make up the Chobe - Kasane, Savuti, and Linyanti.

Kasane is the perfect starting place for your safari adventure, a bustling town that shares an unfenced border with the Chobe National Park and is the main gateway to the Chobe and the rest of Botswana. It also offers an easy access point to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The Savuti, also known as Savute, is renowned for its predator sightings and big game, offering sanctuary to the greatest concentration of animals in Southern Africa. The Linyanti is situated north of Savuti in a corner of the Chobe National Park and is most famous for its large herds of elephants, lion, sable, roan, hippos, and wild dog.

The Chobe National Park offers a well-rounded safari experience with open-vehicle game drives, walking safaris, mobile safaris, birding safaris, and boating safaris. Accommodation in Chobe varies from private safari lodges and authentic tented camps to luxurious houseboats on the Chobe River.
