Chobe Botswana Safari 

Home to the largest concentration of African elephants in Southern Africa, this renowned safari destination is a wildlife paradise and a “must see” destination when visiting Botswana. Chobe National Park offers a contrast of rivers, forest areas and marshlands, with an abundance of wildlife and prime game viewing opportunities.

Chobe Botswana Safari will offer you Boat cruises on the Chobe River  with wild-life viewing along the river.  On a Chobe Safari sightings of buffalo, giraffe, zebras, elephants and different species of antelopes is a common sight, as well as predators like leopard and lion.

The Chobe Riverfront is a permanent water source of the Chobe River ensuring an excellent wildlife viewing along the banks of the river.

Chobe National Park is broken into 3 main areas:
The Chobe River Front, near to the town of Kasane. This area borders on to the Caprivi Strip of Namibia and has very high concentrations of game – especially in the dry season when it teams with animals dependent on the water. The area is made up of seasonal flood plains and relics of large riverine forests. A boat cruise on the Chobe River with many hundreds of elephants feeding on the floodplains and huge buffalo herds will be etched in one’s mind forever.

The Linyanti Swamps which form the extreme north west of the park, although most of the area does not lie in the park itself, it is of vital importance as it provides an additional source of water during the dry season. The area is characterized my mopane forests and thornveld which supports large numbers of elephant in the dry season.

The Savute Area makes up the central and southern region of the park, the relic marsh is guarded over by seven low lying hills. Savute is famous for the ancient channel that flows in periods of extreme rainfall and dries for many decades in-between. The Jouberts did most of their early work here and the area is famous for its large lion prides, hyena and elephant bulls. At the moment the Savute Channel is flowing, making this one of the premier wildlife destinations in the world.

The area is also in close proximity to the magnificent Victoria Falls making it a perfect combination for a Chobe Safari with a Victoria Falls tour.
