Chobe River Safari in Botswana | Activities

About this experience

Explore the Chobe River on a private boat safari through one of Africas most wildlife-rich waterways. Chobe National Park has the largest concentration of elephants on the continent, and the riverfront offers spectacular sightings of large herds bathing and drinking.

Your experienced captain-naturalist navigates the channel where wildlife is most concentrated. Hippo pods surface alongside the boat as elephant families wade through the shallows. The birdlife is exceptional with African skimmers, carmine bee-eaters, and fish eagles.

Morning and sunset departures are available. Each boat is private to your group with shaded seating and refreshments.
