Magical Chobe

season also meant that we had very little traffic in the park and had nearly private game drives from our lodge. It was also baby time! Lots of young animals- especially baby elephants which may be the cutest! The park seems to be well managed and guides are respectful of the land and animals- we had such a wonderful, wonderful time in Chobe.

Check the weather before you go
Unlike guides in other parks (that I will not mention), the ones at Chobe National Park were professional, punctual and knowledgeable. Check the weather before you go. If it is raining, the safari will be cancelled so book a few days not just one day to be safe. Take a wind proof jacket on the safari, it is very cold even in the summer. Safaris are either during sunrise or sunset when animals are more visible.

Never seen so much elephants together!
We went to Chobe in December of 2014, and it was wonderful! We did a lot of other Safaris in Africa, including Kruger and Etosha, but in Chobe we could see much more Elephants. When I say "a lot", I mean dozen of them together, crossing in front of the car, or in the back, elephants so close to us that we could even touch them (of course we didn't!!). Other than Elephants, we saw a lot of Hippos, Buffalos, Giraffes and Impalas. I am not a bird expert, but there was a bunch of them too, including the Lilac Breasted Roller, national bird of Botswana.
The landscape is amazing, and watching the sunset in a boat cruise in Chobe River is a great experience! Bring some beers and Savana Dry with you, and stay there enjoying the beauty of that place, watching some crocodiles and hippos in the water, and elephants bathing theirselves.

River safaris are something unique you can enjoy here and in Okavango Delta. Approaches to wild animals could be very close and dawn in Chobe river provide amazing colors.

The Wildlife here is absolutely amazing! The narula beauty, especially by the Chobe River is excellent. Birding is just as great here. It is a popular destination though, and many tourists visit this park, but you will still experience a great bush vibe here.

Great accommodations, tons of wildlife, and managed very well. There is a reason that it is a popular destination, as all of these things are done well.
Wildlife, specially elephants are present in huge numbers. Also many species of birds can be seen. Excellent destination.
