Chobe River Front

The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of Chobe National Park and is one of southern Africa’s most rewarding wildlife riverfronts, especially in the dry season when animals concentrate along its banks. Elephant herds gather in large numbers at the water’s edge, hippos crowd the channels, and buffalo move regularly through the floodplain grasslands, while lions range through the wider system and may hunt buffalo in the surrounding landscape. The river also supports exceptional birdlife across reeds, sandbanks, and woodland edges, and visitors typically explore it through guided game drives on designated park tracks as well as boat safaris that bring them level with elephants and hippos along the shoreline.
