Chobe National Park

Introduction

One of Southern Africa's finest game sanctuaries, Chobe National Park is the second-largest national park in Botswana. Unquestionably one of Africa's most stunning and pristine waterways is the Chobe River. It was established as the first national park following independence and was given full park status in 1968. In the far north, it covers 10,566 square kilometres of grassland, mopane, and acacia terrain.

Chobe River

Breath taking scenery

It is home to an astounding array of animals and birds. In addition to being the most popular, this region is also regarded as being the most commercial. Chobe is much more well-known and convenient to reach because of its close proximity to Victoria Falls. Large herds of elephants and buffalo congregate along the riverfront during the dry season to drink from it. One of Africa's greatest remaining elephant populations can be seen along the riverbank.

Need To Know

How to get there

Most safaris in Botswana start and end at either Maun Airport or Kasane Airport. Daily scheduled flights operate between Cape Town/Johannesburg and Maun and on certain days there are flights between Johannesburg and Kasane. 

Best time to visit

The Dry Season is between (May to October) and this is generally considered the best time to visit the Chobe. The weather is cooler, and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot wildlife. The dry season also corresponds with the peak game-viewing period as animals congregate around the Chobe River for water. However, keep in mind that this is also the peak tourist season, and the park can get crowded. Whatever time of the year you visit, the Chobe is a truly special place that offers something for everyone. Whether you're interested in wildlife, adventure, or simply soaking up the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, the Chobe is a must-visit destination in Botswana.

  2. Boat Safaris: Chobe River is a major highlight of the park, and taking a boat safari allows you to observe wildlife from a different perspective. You can witness large herds of elephants bathing and drinking along the riverbanks, spot hippos and crocodiles in the water, and enjoy birdwatching with a plethora of water birds and raptors.
  3. Walking Safaris: Some areas of Chobe National Park offer guided walking safaris, which provide a more intimate and immersive experience in the bush. Accompanied by an armed guide, you can explore the park on foot, learn about the smaller flora and fauna, and gain insights into tracking and bush survival skills.
  4. Birdwatching: Chobe National Park is a haven for bird enthusiasts. With over 450 bird species, including fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, storks, and numerous migratory birds, birdwatching in the park is a rewarding experience.
