Chobe National Park

Lots and lots of water, having to go around by boat to see the wildlife, gives a very special feel to the destination.

In July holy cow were there lots of baby animals! Every animal we saw had a baby representative present. Amazingly beautiful with the water and up-close views with so many animals.

Large concentration of animals, especially elephants. Chobe river is full of wildlife, and on the boats you can get closer or better views of animals than the jeeps (cars have to stay on the road in public game reserves).

Amazing variety and number of animals.

Chobe was also chock full of wildlife: giraffes, hippos, impalas, sable antelopes, various birds and ample waterways to explore by boat. Great for seeing elephants swimming to island grassland and basking crocodiles along the shores.

Camping along the Chobe River is an awesome experience. There is a massive variety of game including Roan & Sable antelope as well as huge elephant and zebra herds. There is also a lot of excellent bird life including pelicans, storks, egrets, fish eagles, huge flocks of carmine bee eaters, marsh cormorants, the list just goes on and on. The nightly crossings by elephant herds across the river into Namibia are great spectacles.

Chobe has some of the best wildlife viewing in Southern Africa!

Well developed but still authentic bush.

Great park - good range of wildlife attracted to the river. Excellent hotels in town, with lots of options for the independent traveller. By far the most accessible park in Botswana unless you are on an organised safari. When you've finished enjoying this great park, you can be at Victoria Falls in about an hour, via a really quick and easy border crossing into Zimbabwe.

It was amazing, just like being in the Lion King movie!

Our trip to Chobe was amazing, the boat ride down the river was so pretty and interesting, and then the feeling of being in the bush as soon as we landed and met our guides. It was so fabulous being in our trucks with the animals so up close and personal! The service at the campsite was phenomenal and our tents so nice and comfy. Could hardly tell you were in the wilderness once you got into bed :) And the food service was great! The whole experience made me feel like royalty the way we were treated. Definitely worth the money and time!
