Chobe National Park nestles in northern Botswana and is renowned for Africa's largest herds of elephant and Cape Buffalo. Considered to be Botswana's oldest reserve, Chobe offers a true wilderness experience with private concessions and camps that are unfenced and open to free roaming wildlife.
Chobe National Park can be visited throughout the year. Wildlife migrates through the park with the seasons. The riverfront area is best visited in the dry months, from May to October. August to October are the optimum months for wildlife viewing here, but it gets extremely hot at that time. During the wet months, many animals, plains zebras specifically, migrate to the Savuti Marsh. Linyanti is best visited from April onward.
There are three significant areas that make up the Chobe - Kasane, Savuti, and Linyanti.
Kasane is the perfect starting place for your safari adventure, a bustling town that shares an unfenced border with the Chobe National Park and is the main gateway to the Chobe and the rest of Botswana. It also offers an easy access point to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The Savuti, also known as Savute, is renowned for its predator sightings and big game, offering sanctuary to the greatest concentration of animals in Southern Africa. The Linyanti is situated north of Savuti in a corner of the Chobe National Park and is most famous for its large herds of elephants, lion, sable, roan, hippos, and wild dog.
The Chobe National Park offers a well-rounded safari experience with open-vehicle game drives, walking safaris, mobile safaris, birding safaris, and boating safaris. Accommodation in Chobe varies from private safari lodges and authentic tented camps to luxurious houseboats on the Chobe River.

Heleen was great
Heleen was meticulous with our requirements and recomendations. We changed a number of times so it was a bit awkward but nothing too much for her. Its not easy booking from abroad but we received all the information we needed and actual booking and payment was simple

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
