Chobe National Park is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, famed for its vast elephant herds and dramatic landscapes shaped by the Chobe River. With sweeping floodplains, riverine forests, and open woodlands, this diverse ecosystem provides some of the most rewarding game viewing opportunities in Botswana.

For a truly immersive and intimate safari experience, Chobe Under Canvas offers an exclusive tented camp set in private sites within the park. Operated by &Beyond, the camp moves seasonally between prime wilderness locations, ensuring guests are always close to the action yet far from the crowds. With just five luxury safari tents, Chobe Under Canvas accommodates no more than 10 guests at a time, preserving a sense of solitude and connection to the natural world.

Each tent is spacious, stylishly furnished, and designed for comfort without compromising the authentic safari atmosphere. Guests enjoy double beds, en suite bathrooms with separate flush toilets, and outdoor bucket showers filled with hot water on request. A private butler is assigned to each tent, providing attentive service and adding a touch of elegance to this classic camping experience. Set beneath the stars and surrounded by the sounds of the wild, nights at Chobe Under Canvas are quiet, peaceful, and deeply memorable.

The camp’s central guest area includes a comfortable canvas lounge and dining tent where guests gather for meals, stories, and pre-dinner drinks. In the evening, traditional bush dinners are served under the open sky or beneath softly lit canopies, accompanied by the distant sounds of the African night. Meals reflect a Pan-African theme, made with fresh local ingredients and prepared in the style of authentic safari cuisine.

Between game drives, guests are encouraged to relax in camp with a cold drink, enjoy some birdwatching, or simply soak up the rhythm of the bush. The camp is unfenced and mobile by design, offering an experience that harks back to the early days of exploration and adventure, yet with every modern comfort considered.

ACTIVITIES

Guests at Chobe Under Canvas are treated to a variety of expertly guided safari experiences that highlight the park’s rich biodiversity and striking terrain. Morning and afternoon game drives in semi-open 4×4 vehicles explore the varied habitats of Chobe, from sandy ridges and riverbanks to mopane woodland and open savannah. These drives offer the chance to see elephants, buffalo, lion, antelope species, and a wide array of birdlife, with each outing tailored to seasonal movements and wildlife behaviour.

A highlight of the Chobe safari is a boat cruise along the Chobe River. From the water, guests can observe elephants crossing channels, hippos wallowing, and crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks. The river is also a haven for birds, from fish eagles to colorful bee-eaters.

Where park regulations allow, guided walking safaris are offered, allowing guests to connect more closely with the land, learn about the smaller aspects of the ecosystem, and follow tracks under the guidance of experienced walking guides.
