Overview

About Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is in Botswana, not Zambia, and it is one of the most rewarding safari destinations in Southern Africa. The Chobe River frontage draws large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and birdlife to the water, particularly in the drier months.

KEETAJ markets Chobe as a cross-border excursion: travellers based in the Livingstone and Kazungula corridor can reach it for a full day of game viewing and return the same evening, or continue onward as part of a longer itinerary.

Chobe National Park is in northern Botswana, close to the town of Kasane and reached from Zambia via the Kazungula crossing on the Zambezi River.
