About this experience

A fantastic full day Safari in highly regarded Chobe National Park, Botswana.

The Chobe National Park stretches to the now dry Savute Channel and beyond to the borders of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve.

The Chobe National Park’s proximity to a body of waters and resultant flood plains makes it a wildlife paradise for a vast species of wildlife that includes Birds, Elephants, Buffaloes, Impalas, Antelopes, Predators, just name a few and can be seen on land in the open Game Drive Vehicle and then the chance to see Hippos, Crocodiles, Elephants again and a huge variety of birds on the boat cruise.

Chobe National Park is probably Botswana’s next most well-known conservation area situated near the meeting point of four (4) international boundaries being Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia. Interesting also to note is that it is around this point that the two major Rivers confluence: The Zambezi and the Chobe Rivers respectively.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Chobe National Park is Botswana's third largest and most visited national park. It takes its name from the Chobe River, which flows along the park's northern boundary and forms the border between Botswana and Namibia's Caprivi Strip. The river is the region's heartbeat, providing a year-round source of water for the multitude of animals and birds that call the park home. Its fertile floodplains combine with the grasslands, mopane woodland and thick scrub in other areas of the park to create a patchwork of habitats that together provide shelter for one of the greatest concentrations of game on the African continent.
