Chobe National Park

Getting There

Expert

Anthony is the author of the Botswana & Namibia Lonely Planet guide.

Chobe National Park has several areas that can be visited. The most popular and accessible area is the riverfront, which is just outside Kasane. Chobe Gate is located 6km/3mi west of Kasane and 80km/49mi west of Victoria Falls. The drive from Kasane takes 10 minutes and from Victoria Falls it’s just over an hour*.

Visitors to this area usually fly into Kasane Airport (BBK), and self-drive visitors can pick up their 4x4 there.

The Savuti and Linyanti areas can be reached by 4x4 in the Dry season, but most people fly in by chartered plane to their lodge.

Another popular point of entry to the country is Maun Airport (MUB). From here you can fly on to Kasane. Driving is also possible – it’s about 600km/370mi and it takes about 7 hours*.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
