Chobe National Park

Northern park, Zambezi River, elephant herds, river cruises, Chobe Forest, Victoria Falls proximity, international hub.

Chobe National Park (11,700 sq km) is Botswana's largest and most popular park, centered on the Chobe River in the north. Elephant populations are massive (40,000+ during wet season); boat cruises along the river offer close wildlife viewing. Savanna, riverine forest, and swampland provide diverse habitat. Kasane town (gateway) is on the Zambezi tripoint (Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe), making it a regional hub. Access is self-drive from Kasane or guided lodge safaris. River cruises (200-400 BWP) are popular afternoon activities. Accommodation ranges from budget backpacker lodges (80-150 BWP/night) to mid-range safari lodges (600-1,200 BWP/night) to luxury riverfront camps. Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe, 60 km away) is a day trip from Kasane. Best season: May-September (cool, dry, elephants concentrated). Rainy season (November-March) is green but hotter and fewer tourists.
