Reasons to choose Chobe National Park for your safari

     
       
1
       

Home of the Elephants

No other African national park offers a better opportunity to view the mightiest African mammals. Here you will see vast herds of elephants daily, and you will have the chance to gain a first-hand understanding of the complex social behavior in family herds, as well as the struggle for survival all animals face in this harsh, beautiful land.

One of Africa's wildest Frontiers

Once you travel further south to the Savute section of the park, one of Africa's wildest frontiers, a genuinely remote safari experience can be found. Here, only a handful of people at any given time can relish a truly remote safari experience in an area that covers thousands of square miles.

Water-Based Game Viewing

Chobe offers game viewing on land or from the river. River safaris are especially rewarding in the early morning and late afternoon when many species come to the water's edge for a drink. River banks also attract birds in great numbers, which enriches the safari experience.

Species of antelope indigenous to Chobe, not seen in the national parks of South Africa or Namibia, include the puku, lechwe, and the regionally rare sitatunga. The rare sable antelope and roan antelope occur in substantial numbers in the northern part of Botswana.

     
      

Experiences to be Savored when traveling to Chobe

The Chobe National Park's captivating experiences are primarily based around the Chobe River and taking advantage of its wild spoils. From leisurely sunset cruises to observing herds coming down to the water's edge for a drink, you'll find each occasion indelibly memorable.

Sunset over the Chobe River

Enjoying a spectacular sunset over the Chobe River while nursing a drink of your choice with the cry of fish eagles and the snorting of hippos providing the background sounds to a most remarkable display is a moment in time you are not likely to forget.

Remote isolation of Savute

The Savute region in the south-central part of the Chobe National Park offers a sense of remote isolation rarely experienced in the modern world. A feeling of being part of this vast wilderness and the multitude of creatures, great and small, that inhabit it.

Observing elephants at the water's edge

Witnessing a large herd of elephants with youngsters approaching the water's edge, drinking and splashing about with calves, often playful and amusing, is a wonderful experience from the safety of a boat just meters away.

The Chobe National Park is a world-renowned safari destination in northern Botswana, famous for having the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. The park offers incredible biodiversity and diverse ecosystems, making it a spectacular location for game viewing both on land and by boat.

The park is home to a stable population of over 50,000 elephants, with double that amount concentrating along the waterways during the dry season. Large numbers of iconic species such as Cape Buffalo, lion, and various antelopes are sure sightings on a game drive. The birdlife is also exceptional, with fish aagles and Kingfishers lining the meandering Chobe River, and species like the Puku and Sable Antelope often spotted.

The Chobe Riverfront (Serondela) - This northern section is the park’s lifeblood, characterized by lush floodplains and dense woodlands. The Chobe River flows along the border, providing a permanent water source that draws massive herds of elephant and buffalo during the dry season (May–October), leading to spectacular wildlife viewing, particularly from boat cruises. This is the only place in Botswana where the rare Puku Antelope is commonly found.            

Savute Marsh - Located in the central-western part of the park, Savute is famous for its high density of predators, including large, specialized lion prides known to hunt elephants. The region consists of extensive savannas and rolling grasslands, fed by the famously erratic Savute Channel. When the channel flows, it transforms the landscape into productive marshland, supporting large populations of migrating zebra and wildebeest.            

Linyanti Marsh - Situated at the park's northwest corner, adjacent to the Linyanti River, this area is known for its remoteness and high concentration of large mammals and predators. The Linyanti is characterized by riverine woodlands, open floodplains, and marshes, making it a key destination for spotting the graceful Roan and Sable Antelopes, as well as African wild dogs and numerous bird species.
