Chobe River Safari Destinations

A Chobe cruise is a wildlife journey with world-class add-ons close at hand. Here’s what surrounds the river.

Chobe National Park

Botswana’s wildlife jewel and the reason to come — the highest concentration of elephants in Africa, plus buffalo, hippo, big cats and abundant birdlife along the riverfront.

The Botswana–Namibia riverfront

The Chobe forms the border with Namibia’s Caprivi Strip; the river’s islands and channels teem with game and offer superb, close-up tender excursions.

Victoria Falls

“The Smoke That Thunders,” an hour away on the Zambezi — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the classic pairing with a Chobe cruise.

The Okavango Delta

A short flight away, the UNESCO-listed delta adds a mokoro-and-lodge safari to the water-based Chobe experience.

Kasane gateway

The riverside town where cruises embark, easily reached from Victoria Falls or by air — the hub for the whole region.
