Visit Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park in the northern Kalahari Desert is home to the largest elephant population on the planet. Chobe's open plains, forests and vast swamplands offer a diverse wildlife watching experience including some of the best safaris in Africa.

Safari holidays in Chobe are at their best in the dry season when the animals' necessary proximity to the area's main water source, the Chobe River, makes them easiest to spot.

Covering a large number of game reserves, including Savuti and Linyanti, the Chobe region allows wildlife to roam freely, meaning that you can embark on an exciting journey through the African wilderness.
