Chobe is just a short drive—about an hour—from Victoria Falls, making it an incredibly convenient add-on for travelers wanting to combine the falls with a world-class safari. You can cross the border and be on a game drive the same afternoon.
Chobe, in northern Botswana, is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Known for its huge elephant herds and dramatic riverfront scenery, the Chobe River forms the park’s northern boundary and attracts an incredible variety of animals, especially during the dry season.
Chobe is home to some of the largest elephant populations in Africa, along with abundant buffalo, lion, hippo, and birdlife. Game drives and boat safaris along the river offer close-up experiences with wildlife in their natural habitat—especially during sunset when animals gather by the water.
One of Chobe’s highlights is exploring by boat, where you can glide past bathing elephants, pods of hippos, and vibrant birdlife. It’s a unique way to experience the park and offers a different perspective from traditional land safaris.
