Thousands of animals in their natural habitat
Chobe National Park is breathtaking. I have visited other parks in Botswana and Southern Africa before, but I had never seen so many animals all together. During the day you can see hundreds of impalas, zebras, elephants and giraffes going to drink from the Chobe river. There's also plenty of warthogs, buffaloes, kudus and fish eagles. Even the big cats can be spotted if you have a little patience.
Roads are well marked and there are also some resting and pic-nic areas.
Unfortunately tourists are easy to find too: you will often find other jeeps on your trail.

We saw so many cool animals in our two day one night visit. We saw tons of elephants, Kudu, crocodiles, zebra, a honey-badger, nile monitor lizards, hippos, fish eagles, cormorants, lions, buffalos, giraffes, the list goes on. Chobe is amazing and you definitely shouldn't miss it.
Very popular with a wide variety due to abundance of water for Botswanna. Popularity makes for more congested camps without the seclusion of some of the other camps.

The river cruise was amazing as was the sunrise safari. We saw so many beautiful birds and were lucky enough to witness a grouping of three leopards. The campsite was clean and was a welcomed respite after a week in the bush.

A wonderful day on the land and on the river observing all kinds of wildlife.
Our trip was organized by Grand Circle Travel Co. and included Kruger, Addo and Chobe National Parks. We liked Chobe Nat. Park because it was more open than Kruger and allowed a more unobstructed view of the animals. Grand Circle also arranged for a great trip on the river at Chobe where we saw animals like the hippos that we didn't see in Kruger. Kruger was very good, however. Any trip to So. Africa should include a trip to Kruger and Chobe Nat. Parks because they're so vast. Chobe has a lot of wildlife on, in and around the water and it shouldn't be missed.
