This feels like Africa
Many of Southern Africa's wildlife parks have become developed to the point of disneyfication but not Chobe. It still feels raw, gritty, and intimate. Perfect location for a self drive safari with outstanding human food and lodging also available just outside the park in Kasane.

Nowhere else have I seen such huge herds of wild elephants - it was an incredible sight. There was also huge amounts of other wildlife, like baboons, giraffe, antelope and zebra.

A magical day
After a quick morning tea, the first half of the day was spent in a boat on the Chobe River - we found our guides informative and entertaining. We were delighted by the amount of bird life along the river seeing, among many others, African Fish Eagles, White-fronted Bee-eaters and Great White Egrets. There was plenty of animal life along the banks too - crocodiles, elephants and hippos.
After lunch which was simple but filling, we spent the afternoon in a specially-modified 4x4 vehicle in the Chobe National Park. A highlight of this was seeing the after-math of a leopard-kill. We had a close (but safe) encounter with some elephants, and saw several baboons, impala and giraffes. Unfortunately no lions that day, and zebras were 'out-of-season' - their migratory pattern means they simply

are not present in Chobe in June. Again, our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.I would thoroughly recommend a visit to Chobe National Park, and fully intend to go there myself when I am next in southern Africa.

Very nice experience !
We did not expect much from Chobe, since the only thing we knew about it beforehand was that it was famous for elephants.
Our stay was fantastic, we enjoyed very much the boat cruises, from which you can really enjoy all of the wildlife on Sedudu island.
I am not a big fan of birding, but we did see lots of interesting birds, and some people apparently seemed very into the matter and enjoyed it very much !
We also did a morning game drive, which was good, but not excellent. There were too many vehicles compared to some private game reserves, and since we could not get off-road, the animals

we saw where quite far away. Still, it was a good experience, and the park still has lots of animals, and for a much more affordable price than what you pay in a private game reserve.Overall, our experience was very nice, people were very friendly, the scenery was fantastic, and we did see lots of animals !

really there. Also, when you are staying in the Bush Lodge or the Safari Lodge, the boat is really big, so it can't come close to the banks. Food at the lodge was okay, though the menu promised more than was actually given. My ciabatta with mozzarella, pesto and tomato turned out to be a cheese sandwich without any pesto or mozzarella. It tasted good, but was not what I expected.

An amazing park,
The most popular way to visit Chobe is a river cruise. The boats are huge, but believe me, that doesn't matter.
The boats leave Kasane in the early afternoon. You can bring your own drinks. Enjoy the sun, scenery and wildlife.
You'll see mostly elephants, hippo's, crocodile's and buffalo's. In the dry season herds of elephant and buffalo come to the river side to drink. It's amazing how many animals you'll see. I highly recommend this cruise to everyone.
In the early morning we left for a game drive through the park. We saw the sun rise. The park has beautiful small dirt roads on the river banks, hills and plains. We saw a lot of small game and birds. Springbok and Kudu's. Fish Eagles and Vultures. Mongoose and Baboons.

Hippo, Buffalo and Giraffe.On a game drive you must be lucky to see the big cats. We were not that lucky.

I loved Botswana, especially the Chobe National Park, where we saw an abundance of wildlife and in particular, elephants, monkeys, lions & hippo. We stayed in the North near Kasane.

the true beauty of Africa and her animals at land and in the water
Chobe National Park is one of the most amazing places to experience Africa in her full beauty. The biggest concentration of Elephants anywhere in the world, and all others in abundance on land, in the water and in between.
