Description
The Chobe River defines the northern boundary of Chobe National Park and supports a rich variety of wildlife throughout the year. Known for having one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, the river’s permanent water attracts large herds, especially in the dry season.
The river’s channels and islands are home to hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, antelope, and numerous bird species. Watching elephants swim with their calves alongside the boat is a remarkable sight. Hippos surface nearby, crocodiles bask on the banks, and fish eagles soar overhead.
A late afternoon cruise is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals gather to drink and feed in the cooler twilight hours, providing excellent photographic opportunities with warm sunset light.
