    I had to make a separate post for the Chobe River, which is part of the park. So serene, tranquil and beaming with life! A photographer's dream with breathtaking sunsets 👌

    Wonderful natural park home to one of the largest populations of wild African Elephants and many other wild species. Super well preserved and managed. A true gem that speaks much about Botswana's dedication to preservation efforts

    The park has quick access to a wonderful viewing area of flood plains which are rich in wildlife. You MUST have a true 4WD vehicle to do the park. An AWD will not get you through the many places of deep, soft sand. From the entrance near Kasane, there is only one option to travel in the park, and is one way. The long loop travels along the river flood plain edge, then returns through more the middle of the park. Again, do not attempt in anything other than a 4WD vehicle. We had an AWD and figured it would work, but it won't. The abundance and quick access to the wildlife is fantastic, though.

    Sehr schöner Nationalpark, in dem man auf Safari vor allem Elefanten zu sehen bekommt. Raubkatzen haben wir soweit ich mich erinnere nur ganz wenige gesehen. Die Natur hier sieht sehr schön aus, es gibt viele dichte Büsche, die rund um Bäume angeordnet sind. Man ist also viel auf der Pirsch und hofft auf etwas Glück bei den Tieren. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

    Great wildlife experience destination. Saw the big 5. Have range of hotels and lodges and even can sites depending on the need and budget. Boat cruise and also Victoria fall day trip facilities also available. If planned well ahead it’s truly a worth experience.

    Wir waren 2022 Anfang August dort und hatten bei beiden Jeep Safaries (Abends Großwild+Morgens Löwen) großes Glück. Ab Mittag haben wir noch eine sehr empfehlenswerte Bootstour (Flusspferde) gemacht. Es war das Highlight der insgesamt sehr schönen Reise. Siehe Fotos.

    Schöner Park. Spannend auch als Selbstfahrer. Äußerst unfreundliche Dame beim Parkeingang. Sehr viele Elephanten, Impala, etc

    What an experience! Better to come around August/September. During the drought (dry season), more animals are coming closer to the river and you can watch them and take pictures. Around February, the place is very green and the animals spread more and it's slightly harder to see them. Impalas, elephants, Hipos and crocodiles are to be seen the whole time. Get up early to catch all the animals before they get their siesta when the sun comes up...

    Amazing trip starting with a morning boat safari where we witnessed at least a hundred hippos and over a thousand elephants. The afternoon game drive culminated in the sighting of a lioness and her mate, a big lion.

    Poor condition of the park is a disgrace. No effort is made to present this national heritage with any pride all the while skyrocketing parks fees. Get the roads and signage sorted.

    2月中旬 半袖短パンだと午前は日が出ない時は肌寒いので羽織るものがあると良いと思います。 リバー、ゲームドライブはかなり楽しめます。 ガイドさんやツアー会社の人達はめちゃくちゃ親切です。 とりあえず象の数が半端じゃないです。 至る所に象だらけです。 割合で言うと 象5.5,インパラ3.5,残りを0.何%ずつ色々な動物がいる感じです。 象好きにはたまらない国立公園だと思います。 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘です。

    Breathtaking and such an amazing experience. Four Ambassadors Travel Agency really hit the ball out of the park with this one! This is a natural resource! Don’t expect close encounters with all animal, however, we did had a huge close encounter with the elephants. It was breathtaking! I recommend this place!

    Mooi maar druk bezocht park. Kunt er prima een zelf-drive doen. Veel dieren, met name olifanten.

  • 5/5 Wolfgang B. 1 year ago on Google • 151 reviews
    Unbedingt zu empfehlen sind die Safarifahrten in offenen Geländewagen. Wir haben alles an Tieren gesehen, was man sich wünschen kann. Die Guides waren über Funk verbunden und informierten sich ständig über die Standorte der Tiere. Die Ortswechsel waren oft halsbrecherisch und spannend.

    Chobe is one of the best national parks in Southern Africa. Particularly the Northern stretch, by Chobe River, has an incredible density of animals. If you want to be sure to see elephants, this is the place to be. The North-Eastern part close to Kasane can get very busy with Safari vehicles, but the rest of the park can be enjoyed in almost complete solace.

    Amazing! We did 5 safaris in the park with a guide. It was spectacular! The guides were really great at tracking down the animals. We saw lots of elephants and hippos and impala. We also saw lions. zebra, giraffe, jaguars, hyenas, wild dogs and more! We even got to watch lions hunt.

    Amazing experience. Chobe has the largest number of elephants and animals here don’t seem to care about people. I was right next to elephants but didn’t get charged. I did a day tour in Chobe including boat ride and game drive. I think a Day is fairly good enough at Chobe. Highly recommend it especially for those staying in Zimbabwe or Zambia for Victoria Falls

    Wir waren insgesamt dreimal im Park. Einmal am späten Nachmittag und einmal frühmorgens mit dem klassischen Safari Jeep mit Aufbau für neun Gäste. Dann haben wir nachmittags noch einmal eine Bootstour auf dem Fluss gemacht. Als Teilnehmer dieser klassischen touristischen und geführten Touren war ich begeistert. Wie das ganze für Selbstfahrer ist, kann ich daher natürlich nicht beurteilen. Wir waren in der 1. Oktober Hälfte unterwegs. Die Vegetation sieht um diese Jahreszeit teilweise trist und trocken aus. Da es noch nicht so viele Blätter gibt, hat man jedoch eine bessere Fernsicht und die Chance Tiere zu entdecken erhöht sich um ein Vielfaches im Vergleich zu den Jahreszeiten mit voller Vegetation. Wir waren begeistert. Bereits nach der ersten Jeeptour am späten Nachmittag hatten wir vier der Big 5 gesehen, nur Nashörner gibt es hier meines Wissens nicht. Ebenso haben wir eine Vielzahl von Antilopen, Giraffen, Affen und Vögeln gesehen. Besonders faszinierend sind natürlich die unglaublich vielen Elefanten. Toll war auch die Bootstour. Von hier hat man noch mal eine ganz andere Perspektive auf die vielen Elefanten am Fluss und die Nilpferde sind natürlich viel näher. Außerdem haben wir noch etliche Krokodile, Büffel, Vögel, Warane und viele weitere Tiere gesehen. Für jemanden, der nur relativ kurz vor Ort ist und möglichst viel sehen möchte, fand ich diese organisierten Touren perfekt. Man muss nur in das Auto steigen oder auf das Boot klettern und sich sonst um nichts kümmern.

    I learned a lot about animals in the park and the game driver taught us a lot🙏🙏

    Great reserve: it's much less crowded than other reserves, and you'll easily spot many animals up close. A must-visit if you're in Botswana!

    Great plase to see wildlife in close.

  • 5/5 Manuel B. 1 year ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Vor allem auch die Bootsfahrten ein echtes Highlight mit unzähligen Tieren, egal wohin man schaut - teils echt hautnah dabei. Ja, vor allem bei Raubkatzen Sichtungen kann es passieren, dass einige Wägen zusammenkommen, weil die Ranger untereinander bei Sichtungen Bescheid geben, aber dafür ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass man viel sieht! September sehr heiß (34 bis 39°C, 24 Stunden wolkenlos, 7 Tage die Woche), aber durch die trockene Luft aushaltbar und vor allem optimal für Tiersichtungen, da die Vegetation niedrig und kahl ist. Die Sonnenuntergänge über dem Fluss Chobe sind spektakulär! Sichtungen: Löwen, Elefanten, Giraffen, Büffel, Nilpferde, Kudus, Warzenschweine, Zebras, Zebramangusten, hunderte Impalas, Paviane, Krokodile, Springböcke, Geier, Seeadler, Buntstorch, Löffler (und zahllose andere Vögel)

    Einer der ersten Nationalparks in Botswana. Gut von Kasane aus zu erreichen. Nach Norden hin durch den Fluss Chobe begrenzt. Beeindruckende Flora und Fauna die zu Beginn der Regenzeit richtig aufblüht. Ein Muss für jede Safari.

  • 5/5 Connie D. 5 years ago on Google • 41 reviews
    Chobe National Park covers a very large land mass and we only spent time one area near Kasane. We did 6 game tours, one on the water. Every time we were out we had at least one exceptional experience and many incredible animal viewing. I love the fact our guide would sit and let us observe the animal interactions. I would return to Chobe in a heart beat!

    One of the last truly wild areas in Africa is Chobe. This place brings you closer to nature, it is a magical place to visit. Both the game drives and the river cruise are inspiring...

    Camp site bathrooms are unisex unfortunately none of the doors lock, no room to hang anything toilets also don't close very disappointing. Not safe at all.

  • 5/5 sevilay i. 1 month ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Çok güzel bir safari deneyimiydi. Araçlar oldukça güzel. Kurallar anlatıldıktan sonra safari başlıyor. O kadar çeşitli hayvan gördük ki hepsini yazamam. Ama bir müddet sonra filler ve zürafalar sanki günlük hayatımızda gördüğümüz hayvanlar haline geliyor.😁 Ardından nehir safarisine de çıktık. Bufalolar , hipopotamlar ve timsahlar oldukça heybetli ve ürkütücüydü. Bence herkes bir kez deneyimlemeli. Unutamayacağımız anılarımızdan biri oldu.

  • 5/5 Jay J. 5 years ago on Google
    A truly unspoilt nature reserve with abundance flora and natural wildlife situated in northern Botswana. Its also the home of the big 5.. Flood waters from Angola come to form the lush flood plains of the Chobe area and Chobe river. A real photographer' paradise with lots of hotels and campsites to suit every pocket.

    Wonderful wildlife viewing by land and boat.

    Chobe river game drive was awesome. We spotted crocodiles & hippos. It was amazing being close with the hippos.

  • 5/5 YeanChin T. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed. Make sure arrive by 6am as lions usually leave early.

  • 4/5 Stacy S. 2 years ago on Google
    We took 2 Safari drives and a boat cruise. Saw many elephants, lions, zebra, impala, and more. The wildlife was amazing! I'm glad we had guides, and 4 wheel drive is a must. We were able to get very close to the animals, but I felt like maybe we were invading their space too much at times. Overall, it was the experience of a lifetime!

  • 5/5 Thanachai W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is where people come into the animals area. We feel all humble to see how animals are living peacefully in this very well preserved sanctuary. You can see lions 🦬, elephants 🐘, giraffes 🦒, zebras 🦓, buffaloes 🐃, hippopotamuses 🦛 impalas, birds, etc. Wonders of the mother nature!

  • 5/5 Tshepo P. 2 years ago on Google
    I got to see different prides of lions in one game drive. As a photographer, it is the best place to visit. My stay at Chobe Game Lodge was also phenomenal, they have set the bar beautifully high.

  • 5/5 Trymore H. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of wildlife..excellent game viewing.

  • 5/5 Mark J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite safari areas. so much game to see especially in the dry season when the water is off the flood plains

  • 5/5 Kirsten “Kirfara” K. 2 years ago on Google
    Most elephants anywhere on earth. Also much more than pachyderms to see and enjoy.
