Elephants everywhere
With excellent access by both land and water, Chobe is probably the best location for elephant viewing in all of Africa. The ability to view game up close silently from a drifting boat is unmatched anywhere. Botswana is safe and well governed and has done a fantastic job of managing natural resources and controlling tourism pressure. Many popular parks in the rest of Africa feel like large zoos crowded with tourists. Chobe feels like the real bush.
We take groups there each winter with remsberg.com and teach photography workshops staying at the excellent Garden Lodge in Kasane. There is no better place to learn wildlife photography than Chobe and it is so close to Vic Falls that you end up with an amazing two for one experience.

A fantastic place, Chobe N.P.
Last July of 2018, during a trip to Africa, I had the opportunity to visit the Chobe National Park. This place seemed like a paradise for a traveler and photographer, the safaris are amazing and fascinating, with all kinds of animals and birds. It is an explosion of wildlife and nature.
Of the several National Parks that I visited on that trip, this and the Okavango Delta are the ones I liked the most. For a lover of animals and wildlife, it is essential to visit the Chobe National Park.

The garden eden in a role model country
Chobe is one of the top destinations for safari in Botswana. You have plenty of different wildlife species. I really enjoyed the enormous number of elephants and also the lion population. The accomodation are not cheap, but with the high rates Botswana als protects the area against mass tourism. Only around Kasane it is very busy.

Great national park. Very clean with professional staff and wonderful wildlife. The restaurant was first class and the bar prices reasonable. Would have liked an overnight stay in the lodge. First Class
A beautiful national park with huge numbers of amazing wildlife to see
During our stay, the most striking thing was the sheer numbers of animals in Chobe national park. We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, and buffalo among many other animals and saw 4 out of 5 of the Big 5. The river setting really made Chobe stand out and allowed for the viewing of animals in a different environment to many other safari locations.
We stayed at Chobe Marina Lodge which is a beautiful collection of lodges, right on the river. The food, accommodation and staff were all great as was seeing wild warthogs wandering past our accommodation.
Everything was taken care of by the attentive staff and we had the choice of river cruise safaris or truck safaris (we did both). One particular highlight has to be seeing the sun setting over the river from our boat.
Shimba our guide was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable, & the staff at the Lodge were great.

Chobe national park is an incredible place that is not too busy and offers some incredible sunrise/sunsets on the backdrop of the Chobe river. It is not too busy with tourists once you are deep enough into the park. The abundance of wildlife is astonishing where you will almost never go more than 5-minutes without at least seeing a herd of Impalas and overall during my visit I saw popular animals such as hippos, crocodiles, lions, zebras, buffalo, giraffes and even on one occasion a leopard. During my visit in June, the temperature varied quite greatly, where during the day it was hot but at night and early morning it would also drop quite low and so packing warmer clothes is advised. However I don't recall seeing a cloud in the sky during my entire stay so it is always sunny during the day and starry at night.
Chobe is more of a longer stretch of land with more open spaces.
