Nights can get freezing, although the days warm right up. The elephant extravaganza continues on the Chobe and Linyanti Rivers.
Literally hundreds can be seen at the river at a time, as well as great herds of buffalo. It’s peak high season, which also means more park visitors – so if you want peace, it may be worth heading to the further reaches of the park or the private concessions of Linyanti and Selinda.
Linyanti’s prime game-watching window period is also the winter months, and the area is known for wild dogs. The dogs den this month, making these sought-after predators easier to find.
