Chobe National Park
Famed for its massive elephants, and some of the world's largest herds of them, Chobe National Park in Botswana's far northeastern corner is one of the great wildlife destinations of Africa. In addition to the mighty pachyderms, a full suite of predators and more than 440 recorded bird species are present – watch for roan antelope and the rare oribi antelope.
Chobe was first set aside as a wildlife reserve in the 1930s and became Botswana’s first national park in 1968. It encompasses three iconic wildlife areas that all carry a whiff of safari legend: Chobe Riverfront, which supports the park's largest wildlife concentration; the newly accessible and Okavango-like Linyanti Marshes; and the remote and soulful Savuti, with wildlife to rival anywhere.
Whether you’re self-driving and camping under the stars, or flying into your luxury lodge, Chobe can be enjoyed by everyone.
Reviews of Chobe National Park
===========================
We stayed in Victoria Falls several days in Mid October and one of the days went for a boat safari in the morning and game safari in the afternoon. We could encounter many kinds of wild animals around the river as it was during the dry season.
You should be careful about travel agents that sell the tour. They give different prices to their customers even in the same hotel!
--------------------------
Take a game drive to see the best animals in this park. The boat trip was the best with the animals near the boat.
--------------------------
Did a middle of day Game drive in October. It was perfect as hundreds of animals were gathered along the Chobe River during the day and evening.
--------------------------
If you want to see elephants in Southern Africa, to Chobe you will go. This park is spectacular in the dry season as well as the rainy season. From the wooded forest to the river floodplains, it's always easy to spot hippos, buffalo and giraffe in this park. You're also not too far from Kasane, the town where most lodging and accommodation is located. Highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Botswana (and Southern Africa, in general!)
----------------------------
he best place in Southern Africa to see wild life. Chobe National Park is a must visit not just for tourists from abroad but for all the people of Botswana.
---------------------------------
It was a wonderful experience of game drive at the Chobe National Park. You get really close to observe the behaviour and action of wild life in the park.
--------------------------
We did an late afternoon game drive and it was great. There are huge groups of different game all over the park.
We got very close to a family of lions who was restung from the last meal:)

BOTSWANA TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY - 4x4 Safari Road Trip feat. Victoria Falls
Part One - NAMIBIA:
Canada:
Australia:
Follow us on our road trip safari through southern Africa's wildlife paradise Botswana. We drove through most of Botswana, including all the wildlife-rich areas like the Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe Nationalpark including the Chobe Riverfront and the Kalahari. We explored the Makgadikgadi salt pans in the center of the country, the Gcwihaba Caverns in the West and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the south. We also shortly ventured into Simbabwe to marvel upon the majestic Victoria Falls. We were lucky enough to spot most of the big, and many small, animals which call Botswana home. These include elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, kudus, oryx, ostriches, honey badgers, bat-eared foxes, serval cats, warthogs, springboks, impalas and many more.

The Okavango Delta is a region in Botswana.
See in Okavango Delta, Botswana
------------------------------------------------
The Okavango Delta is one of the world's great inland waterways. The meandering Okavango River is breathtaking, seen either by boat, airplane or mokoro. The main choices are to go on safari in Moremi Game Reserve or stay at one or two of the many lodges. The animals, as outlined below, the birding, flora and fauna are spectacular. There are some amazing lodges like Oddballs Camp Media:okavangodelta.info, and Delta Camp. A trip called the Trans Okavango takes you from the top of the Okavango Delta to Maun.
Tsodilo Hills a 10 sq km area UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its 4500 rock paintings. It's about a 40 km drive along a good grade dirt road from Shakawe.
Do in Okavango Delta, Botswana
--------------------------------------------------
Go. It's amazing. Fabulous. One the most magical places in the entire world. The budget minded can take the bus from Maun to Sepopa. There is now a river taxi that travels daily from Sepopa to Seronga and coordinates with the buses. If your timing is off stay at Swamp Stop overnight. In Seronga you can stay at the Polers Trust and enjoy the mekoro trips.
Much of the area is divided into large concessions run by various safari groups. Development is strictly regulated so that there is little development and lots of wildlife. It is expensive, but worth it to stay in some of these permanent tented campsites. The guides are knowledgeable, and the accommodations very comfortable. Wilderness Safaris runs many great camps. They are all inclusive: two wildlife rides a day, all meals, snacks and drinks are included in the price.
Stay safe in Okavango Delta, Botswana
--------------------------------------------------------
The Okavango Delta is generally considered safe for travelers, although as with any part of Africa necessary precautions should always be taken. The Okavango is home to many potentially dangerous animals (including, but not limited to, the Nile Crocodile, Lion and Hippo) but attacks on tourists are virtually unheard of, it is best to closely follow the instructions of your guide at all times.
Stay healthy in Okavango Delta, Botswana
----------------------------------------------------------
Malaria, along with many other mosquito-borne illnesses, can be present within the Okavango and thus preventive measures are imperative. It is important to note that the occurrence of mosquito-borne illnesses is much higher in the wet season (the same is true for any tropical location.)
Regions in Okavango Delta, Botswana
--------------------------------------------------------
1 - Kalahari Basin
The Kalahari Desert lies in the Kalahari Basin, which is enormous, about five times the size of France, and the Basin covers all of Botswana and parts of her surrounding countries. The Kalahari Basin was created 135 million years ago when South America, Asia and Australia tore themselves away from Africa. The power of this event and of the secondary volcanic and earth shuddering activity it caused lifted the edges of southern Africa like a bowl, creating the Basin. Over many millions of years this part of the world passed through extremely dry periods, during which fierce sand storms dumped layer upon layer of sand into the basin. And today, 65 million years later, this is the oldest and largest stretch of sand on our planet.
2 - Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari is currently in the wet period of its 65 million year history. It's most outstanding physical feature is the living desert. The sands of the Kalahari Desert have mostly been blown there rather than transported by water and thus are not very fertile. Even so, after good rains, grass is plentiful and this supports an astounding diversity of life. The Kalahari Desert is the last refuge of the San or Bushmen, who have roamed Southern Africa for the last 30 000 years and are now on the verge of extinction. If you wish to find out more about the world’s oldest contemporary culture on look on the Smartguide website for the Bushmen Download.
3 - Lake Makgadikgadi
At some stage in this 65 million year period large Rivers flowed into the Kalahari Basin, creating a giant lake which in turn emptied into the Indian Ocean via the Limpopo River. And then about 50 000 years ago, due to the numerous fault lines in the area, all but the Okavango River were diverted, and the Lake began to shrink. Until about 10 000 years ago another fault effectively dammed the Okavango River creating the delta and leaving the Lake to become the largest the salt pan complex in the world, the Makgadikgadi Pans – an amazing expanse of whiteness the size Switzerland.

2 days in Maun, Botswana. An amazing African adventure
I had the great pleasure of visiting the wonderful country of Botswana. It is such a welcoming country with friendly people, amazing wildlife and superb attractions.
I got to spend two wonderful days in the northern village of Maun on the Okavango Delta where you can glide through pristine waterways on a morkoro and observe wildlife in its natural habitat.
I went on a midday game walk which meant there were less animals to see as many were sleeping, hidden from the harsh midday sun. But I still got to see zebra, hippos, donkeys, cows, crocodiles, spotted tree frogs, wilderbeest, and deer. And I had a sip of the sweet Okavango waters.
I stayed at the Old Bridge Backpackers ( and it was a magical place to stay. Great tent. Excellent bar. Good food. And a mighty big fig tree to laze under by the river and daydream.
I can't wait to get back to Africa. I love it!
