Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana, is renowned for having one of the largest concentrations of elephants in Africa. The Chobe River, which forms the park’s northern boundary, is a major draw, especially during the dry season, as vast herds of elephants and other wildlife gather along its banks. Boat safaris on the Chobe River offer unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for hippos, crocodiles, and a spectacular array of water birds, alongside land-based game drives. The park’s diverse ecosystems also support lions, leopards, wild dogs, and a variety of antelope species.





The dry season (May-October) is ideal for visiting Chobe, as wildlife concentrates along the Chobe River, making game viewing excellent. The temperatures are also more moderate.

Typical Park Fees: USD 15-20 per person per day (subject to change by Botswana Wildlife Department). Activity Cost Notes: Boat safaris are often included in lodge rates but can be arranged separately (approx. USD 50-100 per person). Private game drives may incur additional vehicle fees. Accommodation Price Tiers: Mid-range to Luxury: from $400 – $1000+ pppn.
