I loved Botswana, especially the Chobe National Park, where we saw an abundance of wildlife and in particular, elephants, monkeys, lions & hippo. We stayed in the North near Kasane.

the true beauty of Africa and her animals at land and in the water
Chobe National Park is one of the most amazing places to experience Africa in her full beauty. The biggest concentration of Elephants anywhere in the world, and all others in abundance on land, in the water and in between.

I never saw so many elephants and hippos outside the water like there - even at 12.00 a.m.
But I saw many other animals too - much more than on my safari trips in South Africa and Namibia.

elephants
we saw so many elephants of all sizes and groups, we saw two lionesses stalk their prey for over an hour only to be foiled at the last minute. it was the experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to go back.

Best wildlife viewing in all of Africa!
I am a Professor of Tourism who lived in Botswana for over a year. As part of my teaching, research and personal interests I have travelled to more than a dozen countries throughout Africa. I can say with complete confidence, the BEST wildlife viewing is in Chobe. The best time to come is in the winter (May-August) because it is dry and the animals crowd around the watering holes. Be sure to take a game drive AND the boat cruise. Chobe has the greatest concentration of elephants in the world- roughly 70,000, so you are guaranteed to see plenty. If you into town yourself be careful, drive slowly, and try not to drive at night because you will see elephants along the road (sometimes in the middle of the road) all the time. They are very difficult to see at night, so it is recommended not to do it, or if absolutely necessary, drive very slooooooooooowly. After travelling to more than 50 countries, Chobe is my absolute favorite place. I have been there at least 10 times because I insist on taking all my visitors there. Not to be missed!

Great river journey and facilities
I went on a bad month for wildlife (day 1 of February) due terrestrial animals don't need to go to the river for drinking. Although this, the river journey was excellent, with lots of hippos, cocodriles and birds. On the road trip we only saw giraffes, and several antelopes. All the facilities were also very good, new and clean: the ship, the rover, the lodge and the restaurant. Weather was also very confortable. Landscapes of the river shores were also very nice. Very few people around.

we went deep in the Chobe National park, trying to get our way on our own as i instructed the ranger cause we where about 5 cars in a raw this couldn't do well with me,fare enough we took another turn driving in a northward direction of the Park after some quiet a drive at last it paid we saw a leopard just on the side of the road but because of the bushy area where we were we could not take any picture but we waited and after 5 minutes of waiting, we saw the cat coming out slowly and there it was in front of our vehicle and guess what we took load and loads of photos, within the next 5 minutes we saw a cloudy like dust approaching us and in few minutes there was 15 to 20 game drive vehicles around us
but all in all i loved it
it was great experience indeed
