Large concentration of animals, especially elephants. Chobe river is full of wildlife, and on the boats you can get closer or better views of animals than the jeeps (cars have to stay on the road in public game reserves).
Chobe was also chock full of wildlife: giraffes, hippos, impalas, sable antelopes, various birds and ample waterways to explore by boat. Great for seeing elephants swimming to island grassland and basking crocodiles along the shores.
It was amazing, just like being in the Lion King movie!
Our trip to Chobe was amazing, the boat ride down the river was so pretty and interesting, and then the feeling of being in the bush as soon as we landed and met our guides. It was so fabulous being in our trucks with the animals so up close and personal! The service at the campsite was phenomenal and our tents so nice and comfy. Could hardly tell you were in the wilderness once you got into bed :) And the food service was great! The whole experience made me feel like royalty the way we were treated. Definitely worth the money and time!

Amazing River Wonderful Elephants
Chobe proved one of the highlights of Africa trip. The river is amazing - almost like the ocean in May at the end of the rainy season. The river trips allow the visitor to see the animals close up without intruding in their space. watching young male elephants playing together in the river was delightful. also the sunset over the river to Namibia was breathtaking. We stayed at Chobe Safari Lodge which was luxury; great staff helpful and friendly. Would do it again!

It was spectacular. A great mix of environments, flora, fauna and landscape features. Each day or night's drive had a different feel.

The combination of river wetlands and the dry desert makes it very interesting.
Here is everything except rhino I think. Lots of birds too.

I saw so many animals nearly every moment of every day while staying at the lodge. The location and views were spectacular! This was definitely not a "touristy" place, but was very safe and accommodating to us tourists.
