Chobe National Park
8h
Enjoy an exhilarating Chobe River cruise. 730km in length, the Chobe River rises in Angola, and flows swiftly through Botswana, before reaching the Zambezi, to crash over the fault-line that is Victoria Falls. This particular section of the river is home to an abundance of wildlife, including massive herds of elephant, scattered pods of hippo, and numerous crocodile, whiling away the day, basking in the sunshine.
Following a lazy morning on the river, guests are treated to a delectable lunch at one of Botswana’s hotels, found on the riverbank.
Next up is an exhilarating game drive through the Chobe National Park, densely packed with an abundance of wildlife sightings. Covering an area of 11700km², the park is most famously known for an enormous elephant population of around 70 000. Needless to say, a Chobe National Park game drive is more often than not broken up by several elephant sightings. In addition, the park is home to a large population of lion – a rarity – all things considered.
And that’s not all! The park also boasts game such as buffalo, zebra, Kudu, giraffe, sable, and impala – all of which can be spotted on a Chobe game drive from the comfort of an open-air safari vehicle.
