With an experienced guide and camping in the park, we had immediate access to the animals and scenery immediately.

Chobe is one of the eaier Safari parks where the roads are easily passable and the wildlife is plentiful. We stayed at Senyati just outside the park, which had an excellent waterhole complete with a hide so that you could get close to the elephants who came to drink in the evenings.

The elephants and birdlife were spectacular with a trip along the Chobe river being an unmissable experience.

In april 2015 i had the opportunity to visit Chobe National Park on our trip to Victoria Falls. It has been a amazing experience. We first did a river cruise and after that a game drive from Kasane.

The most popular way to visit Chobe is a river cruise. The boats are huge, but believe me, that doesn't matter.
The boats leave Kasane in the early afternoon. You can bring your own drinks. Enjoy the sun, scenery and wildlife.
You'll see mostly elephants, hippo's, crocodile's and buffalo's. In the dry season herds of elephant and buffalo come to the river side to drink. It's amazing how many animals you'll see. I highly recommend this cruise to everyone.

In the early morning we left for a game drive through the park. We saw the sun rise. The park has beautiful small dirt roads on the river banks, hills and plains. We saw a lot of small game and birds. Springbok and Kudu's. Fish Eagles and Vultures. Mongoose and Baboons. Hippo, Buffalo and Giraffe.

On a game drive you must be lucky to see the big cats. We were not that lucky.

My father, husband and I traveled to Chobe National Park in April 2015. It was our first trip to Africa, and we stayed three nights at Muchenje Safari Lodge. It truly was an amazing experience. I couldn't have imagined the wildlife we would see or how close we would get to elephant and buffalo herds, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, lizards, baboons, monkeys, warthogs and antelopes. I also have never seen so many beautiful, colorful birds including the southern carmine bee-eater, lilac-breasted roller and wire-tailed swallow. While we were there we went on early morning, full day and sunset game drives as well as a river cruise. Our guide, Synack, was very knowledgable and respectful of the animals and the park. April was the perfect time to travel. There weren't that many people, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. There only was one brief rain shower while we were there, and when it was over the sun came out and we saw a full rainbow. Chobe National Park is a place that touches your soul. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We stayed in Chobe Elephant Camp - it 's new - absolutely brilliant great food, accommodation and the staff are incredibly helpful. I have to mention Dorcus she was just wonderful, full of fun and really good at helping us. The Camp is high up with lovely views over Namibia and is totally open so it feels light and spacious. The area has a range of habitats from woods to grasslands to the river forming the Nambian boundary. As it says on the tin there are a lot of elephants here and one could never trie of watching them. One thing we had never seen was two elephants rising out of the river having crossed from Namibia on the bottom totally submerged using their trunks to breathe. We took a boat trip on the river - not to be missed, lots of elephants and birds and just peaceful not being shaken about in a 4x4. We only had two nights here which was just enough, given how lovely the camp was another night would have been good. As with the other camps we were pretty much on our own and met very few people when we wer eout - a real opportunity to feel part of the environment.

I loved Botswana, especially the Chobe National Park, where we saw an abundance of wildlife and in particular, elephants, monkeys, lions & hippo. We stayed in the North near Kasane.
