2 Chobe National Park, Botswana – A Vast Wildlife Haven

Chobe National Park is a great patchwork of deep, dense forest, sprawling wetlands and zebra-grazed grasslands.

Fly from Johannesburg to Kasane Airport and then proceed overland to Chobe Chilwero, arriving at your lodge in time for lunch. Settle in and relax before afternoon game viewing.

3 Chobe National Park – Abode Of Elephants And More

Start your day early with a hot beverage before joining your guide for a morning game drive. Watch as the animals stir to life and start their day. Elephants are the main event here, with over 120,000 roaming the wilds of Chobe, though hippos, impala, African wild dogs and vultures make welcome appearances against the burning orange skies. Return for a late breakfast and a well-deserved siesta. Late in the afternoon, take off on an afternoon game drive ending with a bush sundowner, set to a backdrop of wide-open parkland.

A watery haven spread across more than a million acres of permanent swamp and seasonally flooded plains, the Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts countless animals from throughout Southern Africa to its thriving ecosystem. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure with a choice of activities, such as a seasonal ride by mokoro (dugout canoe). Later, you may opt for a nighttime game-viewing drive.
