Add-Ons

Chobe National Park

For a varied game experience consider visiting the Chobe National Park in Botswana.

Chobe National Park is a short drive from Victoria Falls and is the most accessible and frequently visited of Botswana’s wildlife reserves. The Chobe River is most famous for its large herds of elephants which during the dry winter months converge upon the river to drink. On a Chobe River boat cruise wildlife from a different perspective, where herds of animals converge on – or even in - the water to drink; hippos and crocodiles are right there below you or on the banks and the birdlife is sensational. Open-sided boats provide superb photographic opportunities.

Within the park itself wildlife abounds. Aside from the finest opportunity ever to witness the greatest elephant population density in Africa, expect to see antelope species, kudu, roan, sable and impala plus warthog giraffe, monkeys and baboons along with the accompanying predators - lion, leopard, hyena and jackal.

Please consult with your Lion World Travel Africa Specialist for accommodations and prices.
