The Chobe River

Exploring the Chobe River

A boat slowly makes its way along the Chobe River, which forms the northern boundary of Chobe National Park in Botswana.

The river provides one of the most peaceful and rewarding safari experiences in Southern Africa. In addition, boat excursions allow guests to explore the floodplains and waterways from a completely different perspective.

Wildlife Along the Chobe River

The Chobe River floodplains are famous for their large elephant and buffalo herds.

Meanwhile, visitors regularly encounter hippos, crocodiles, antelope, and exceptional birdlife along the riverbanks. As a result, the Chobe River has become one of Botswana’s most popular wildlife destinations.

Boat safaris also create excellent photographic opportunities, particularly during sunrise and sunset when wildlife gathers near the water.

Several luxury safari camps and lodges provide access to the Chobe River region.

Popular options include:

  • &Beyond Chobe Under Canvas
