There are different sections of the park, the northern part near Kasane is easily accessible (many local tour operators in Kasane would bring you inside for the day) and it has a beautiful road going along the Chobe river which is splendid and rich in wildlife and birds. There are different lodges with camping ground, but ihaha campsite is the best camping spot. Very reccomended is the sunset boat cruise on the Chobe river. The area overall is a bit touristy though, especially during the dry (high tourist) season. In April it was quiet, with not many cars around. Oddly, it was also difficult to spot elephants (Chobe is full of elephants) as most of the herds had migrated south after the heavy rains. The south-western areas of Linyanti and Savuti are just spectacular and out of reach from the day trips starting from the northern part. This area is full of wildlife and wild scenaries and it is more for people prepared of going camping out in the wild (campsites in Chobe are not fenced), which
Read more is the best experience for me. Beware, everywhere in the park you need a good 4x4 veichle as roads can be on deep sand. Also, if you self-drive, make sure you have a good map. Enjoy!

It was the busiest park we visited and since you have to drive 30 Min to park entrance all are there at the same time - makes it a little less authentic and more organized!

Amongst the largest amount of African Elephants in Africa, amazing seeing the diverse range of animals (hippos, crocodiles, birds, Kudu) scattered through them. Lovely scenery as well, being on almost an island. The river cruise was a highlight and the game drive was also great, we saw a Lion!.

Everything was perfect about this safari, except the season. We've been there at the end of still wet season, with too much water around and too tall grass to hide for wildlife. Did not spot big cats at all. However, a lot of hypos, zebras, giraffes, elephants, different kinds of antelopes, beautiful birds.

Get on the river! Whatever you do be sure to take a pontoon boat ride at sunset. It's incredible. We saw Crocs on the river bank, Bald Eagles in the trees, Elephants drinking from the river, pods of Hippos, Water Buffalo, Impala and a bunch of birds.

Stunning in the Wet Season

We were at the "quiet end" of Chobe National Park, and although we weren't expecting so many sightings since it was the wet season, we had a spectacular time. Everything was green, elephants were everywhere, and a highlights was seeing female lions with 10 cubs. Just beyond them were Cape Buffalo. We also saw numerous birds, and wild dogs. The scenery from Baobab lodge, overlooking a flood plain toward Namibia, was spectacular. Giraffes, water bucks, and other animals came to drink, and the changing light and clouds across this open space was magnificent. We saw birds everywhere, both around the camp and while out driving. Even though wet season means animals are not clustered at water holes because there is water everywhere, it still made for very exciting viewing. Our guides were excellent, as was our accommodation at Baobab Lodge.

We also visited Chobe National Park which was a great contrast to Moremi due to the wet lands environment of the river - there were many different types of animals and birds and different behavior for the common animals like the elephants and buffalo. We witnessed an incredible stand-off between a pride of lions and a family of elephants - who were trying to escape the river with their young calf. It was also wonderful to see so many hippos both in and out of the water - it was hard to believe that they can be the most dangerous animals in the African wild!
