Chobe in December

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

The wetter weather can bring cooler temperatures, so pack a jacket or jersey. The antelope baby boom peaks, and by mid-month, most wildebeest, impala, tsessebe, and warthog will have dropped their offspring.

Good rains will have soaked the earth, and termite alates (often called flying ants) will erupt from the ground, sparking bird feeding frenzies.

Even raptors like Steppe eagles love termites. Many park roads become tricky or impassable, so self-drivers should pick a dryer month. December is a wonderful time to visit Savute.
