Chobe Forest Reserve

Situated on the western edge of the renowned Chobe National Park, Chobe Forest Reserve is a secluded wilderness area offering exceptional wildlife viewing away from the crowds. This vast and unspoilt reserve forms an important wildlife corridor and is home to an impressive variety of animals, including elephant, buffalo, eland, kudu, sable, roan antelope, impala, warthog, lion, leopard and African wild dog. At Barangwe Pan, particularly during the dry season, large numbers of animals gather to drink, creating outstanding game-viewing opportunities. Visitors can explore the reserve on self-drive safaris or join experienced guides for both daytime and night game drives. Scenic boat cruises on the Chobe River, bush picnics and birdwatching further enhance the experience. Nearby Kachikau Village offers a glimpse into local culture, with traditional basket weaving and warm community hospitality adding to the reserve's unique appeal.
