Chobe National Park

View elephants from the water • Remarkable

boating safaris • Impressive sunsets

Within easy reach of Victoria Falls, Chobe

– known as the ‘Land of the Giants’ – is

celebrated for its huge elephant population,

which is concentrated on the Chobe riverfront

in the dry season (May to October). The park is

also known for its large lion prides, especially

in the Savute area, as well as buffalo herds and

prolific birdlife. Perfect for slower adventures,

Chobe offers unusual experiences such as boat

safaris where guests can sip on a sundowner

while spotting animals from the water.

Mokoro safari, Okavango Delta

The UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta is

the world’s largest inland delta. From May

to October, its floodwaters are a magnet

for wildlife, including large populations of

otherwise-rare animals such as crocodiles,

sitatungas, elephants, red lechwe, African wild

dogs, buffaloes and wattled cranes. Activities

include day and night safari drives, bush

walks, seasonal mokoro canoe rides, fishing,

and birdwatching – a chance to spot some of

Botswana’s more than 570 bird species.

Moremi lies in the heart of the Okavango Delta,

encompassing almost 5,000 sq km of protected

wilderness. Unfenced and surrounded by

private concessions, it has a good variety of

habitats, from riverine and mopane forests to

open savannas and shallow lagoons. Wildlife

viewing in the reserve is exceptional, especially

on Chief’s Island, where a large density of big

cats – most notably lions and leopards – can

often be found. Moremi is home to some of

Botswana’s premier safari camps, elevating

the visitor experience.
