Explore Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is Botswana’s most biologically diverse park, meaning that it’s a haven for wildlife. This makes it a must-visit destination in Southern Africa for safari goers. From large herds of elephants seen roaming the wilderness to dramatic interactions between predators and their prey, a safari in Chobe National Park will leave you with memories to last a lifetime!

The Chobe River – the lifeline of the national park – is a fantastic place for boat safaris. See elephants and other animals drinking and playing in the water, as well as a variety of bird species on the banks.

What Wildlife is in Chobe National Park ?

Four of the Big Five are found here, with just rhinos being absent. You can expect to see large herds of elephants and buffaloes as well as lion prides, with leopards being occasional sightings. Giraffes, zebras, and hippos are seen in abundance in Chobe, and while cheetahs are here, they’re rarer to spot.

When to Go

Although Chobe National Park can be visited throughout the year, May to October is excellent for game viewing, especially around waterfronts. The weather during this time is dry, forcing animals to gather around the main rivers and waterholes.

November to December sees herbivore migrations between the Chobe River and Savute Marsh. During the rainy season from November to March, the park bursts with life as baby animals make their appearance.
