Chobe National Park has several areas that can be visited. The most popular and accessible area is the Chobe Riverfront, which is just outside the town of Kasane. Sedudu Gate is 6km/4mi west of Kasane and 80km/50mi west of Victoria Falls. The drive from Kasane takes 10 minutes and from Victoria Falls it’s just over 1 hour*.
Visitors to this area usually fly into Kasane International Airport (BBK), and self-drive visitors can pick up their 4x4 vehicle there. Domestic flights to Kasane can be booked through Air Botswana.
Most self-drive visitors begin in the town of Kasane, which is easy to reach. You can also drive to the Savuti area by 4x4 vehicle from Maun: it’s a two-day journey via Moremi Game Reserve and/or the Khwai Concession. Although the Savuti area can be reached by 4x4 vehicle in the Dry season (April to October), most people fly in by chartered plane to their lodge. There is an airstrip at Savuti, with charter flights by both Wilderness Air and Mack Air.
Another popular point of entry to the country is Maun International Airport (MUB). From here you can fly on to Kasane or even to Savuti Airstrip on a charter flight. Driving is also possible. The distance is about 600km/370mi and it takes around 7 hours*.
Charter flights between parks will usually be booked by the tour operator as part of your tour package.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
