Chobe National Park

Chobe was the home of the San people, hunter-gatherers who drifted from one area to another, following the herds of game in search of water. Today, these herds still exist and the Chobe safari experience of a lifetime awaits! Chobe National Park offers safari travellers the opportunity to experience four different eco-systems and contrasting views of this African wilderness.

Chobe Safari Offerings -

Chobe National Park encompasses many different areas and eco-systems. Around the Chobe river itself in the north-east lie lush plains and thick riverine forest. The Linyanti Swamps in the north-west and the Savuti Marsh in the west combine vast floodplains, ox-bow lakes and lagoons interspersed with damp wetland areas. In between all of these lie swathes of parched, desert-like land.

Huge herds of migratory elephant move seasonally across the Chobe National Park, covering distances of 200km or more, moving from the rivers to pans which fill with rain in the wet season. The sheer volume of elephants you will encounter on your Chobe safari will blow your mind.

The Savuti Marsh area has what some consider to be the best wildlife viewing when it comes to safaris in Botswana. The game here is constant and consists of all the major species and apex predators like lion, leopard and wild dog. Indeed, Savuti Marsh’s lions have become legendary. In the dry, winter months they have been known to join into a "super-pride" to take down adult elephants.

The Linyanti is a hidden jewel. Almost 900 km sq of permanent waterways, palm-fringed lagoons and grassy floodplains make this the most beautiful area in the Chobe National Park.
