Chobe National Park

Chobe reminds you of a time when animals roamed unopposed. When nature ruled and people only observed. The Chobe River forms the lifeblood of this area; and the huge Chobe National Park can be split into four distinct regions: Serondela Area (Chobe Riverfront), Savuti Marsh, Linyanti Marsh, and Nogatsaa Woodlands. Each of these containing unique ecosystems and phenomenal game viewing opportunities. Any time of year is a good time to visit the Chobe National Park, as the park offers something special no matter whether it is the green season or the dry season.

During the dry season, the Chobe Riverfront is the scene of a wildlife spectacle. In addition to the thousands of elephants and buffalos congregating at the water’s edge you can also see giraffes, zebras, sable, red lechwe and the puku in large numbers. Lion and hyena sightings are common here and with the reintroduction of white rhinos in the region, you might even get lucky and spot one of these magnificent beasts.

The remote section of Linyanti is famous for its high concentration of predators. Located in the north-west of the park, along the Linyanti River and converging with the Kwando River to form a marsh land of rugged beauty. Here you have the ideal conditions to escape the crowds and marvel at the magnificence of your natural surroundings.

The Savuti region lies to the south-west of the Chobe National Park, and you will be amazed at the high density of wildlife to be found. It is also here where the elephant hunting lions roam. A truly unique phenomenon, not known to occur anywhere else. Savuti can be enjoyed any time of year as the Savuti zebra migration during the green season shows. Each year thousands of zebras migrate, followed closely by prides of lions. Further possible sightings of hyenas, leopards, cheetah, and the rare African wild dogs make this the land of predators.

The most remote and secluded section of Chobe is the Nogatsaa Woodlands. With mopane trees dotting the landscape the Nogatsaa Woodlands offer a beautiful, off-the-beaten-track experience. Particularly for the Botswana enthusiasts, this region allows you to witness eland, oryx and roan antelopes in the true wilderness of Botswana.

Chobe and all its regions are a dream for wildlife enthusiasts. You have the option of game viewing on a game drive, on a boat cruise or intimately getting to know the bush on a walking safari. Whether you choose to spend your nights camping on one of the unfenced campsites in the national park or overnighting in a charming and intimate lodge on the waterfront, there is something for everyone and unforgettable memories to be made.
