Best Time To Travel

• All year round: Due to permanent water and easy accessibility of Park to / from Kasane plus proximity of Victoria Falls
• May – October: Dry season the larger herds tend to congregate on the river front. Often see the large herds swim across to Sedudu Island
• November – April: the large herds spread throughout the greater area of Chobe National Park due to the increased availability of surface water from seasonal pans

• Large herds of Elephants and Buffalo. Zebra, Kudu, plains game and the ever-present predators. Prolific birdlife all year but especially in the wet season.
• Also found in Chobe, Chobe Bushbuck and Puku, plus Sable and Roan occasionally spotted if you are lucky
• Hippos and gigantic Crocodiles abound in the Chobe River
• Wart hogs, Baboons, Buffalo and Elephants are frequent visitors to Kasane Town

What To Do

• All lodges offer Game Drives and boat cruises into the Chobe Park, some on an inclusive basis, others at additional cost.
• Sunset Cruises, the spectacular Chobe sunsets alone are worth a visit to the Chobe area.
• Traditional Village visits
• Fishing in season, i.e., Tiger Fish, on the bucket list for many fishermen
• Canoeing on the Western / Ngoma side of the park
• Caracal Biodiversity center
• Golf @ Mowana
• Daytrips to Victoria Falls
• Village walks in Namibia
• Spa Treatments at specific lodges

• Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s greatest game park
• The Chobe River is a tributary of the mighty Zambezi River and forms the northern border of Botswana, looking across at Namibia
• The Chobe River meets the Zambezi close to Kazangula, in this vicinity 4 countries meet Botswana, Namibia, Zambia & Zimbabwe.
• Kasane is the gateway to Chobe National Park
• Kasane offers larger hotels than anywhere else in Botswana

• Lodges on the western side /Ngoma have the advantage of entering the park early morning on the western side, much quieter than the Eastern / Kasane Gate
• These lodges are not in the park and can therefore offer night drives and walks.
• Majority of the year, the lodges on westerns side need to go to Kasane for a boat cruise and so are unable to offer sundowner cruises, as they need to get back through the park before it closes.
• Ultimate option is Chobe Game Lodge, already in the park for game driving and a quiet stretch of water for sundowner cruise in comparison to the Kasane area.
• Great family destination, many lodges offer family rooms and cater for various budgets.
• Might be worth booking a private vehicle for added flexibility and a more intimate experience
• Self-drivers: No driving off-road or driving after dark is permitted within the Chobe National Park in accordance with government rules and regulations
• Fuel and provisions widely available in Kasane
