Highlights
Safari
Whilst Chobe National Park is famous for its large concentrations of elephant (the highest density in Africa!) often seen gracing the banks of the mighty Chobe River, there are plenty of other species to look out for on daily game drives with expert rangers. These include - but aren't limited to - lion, leopard, zebra, Cape buffalo, hippo, puku and red lechwe.
Cruising the Chobe River
A river cruise is an excellent way to safari in the park, with two and three-night cruises aboard the Zambezi Queen inviting you to explore the Chobe River bordering Botswana and Namibia. The changing scenery can be viewed from each of the cabins' private balconies, while you can also hop into the tender boats to explore the wildlife on the shoreline – including huge elephants and various other game. Species along the wildlife-rich waterway include kingfishers, fish eagles and herons, as well as hippos and crocodiles.
Birdwatching
Home to plenty of marshes and floodland, Chobe National Park is excellent for birdwatching, with some 460 species to tick off the checklist. Birds you may spot include half-collared kingfishers, white-backed night herons, African skimmers and much, much more!
