Wildlife
Chobe National Park, approximately 100kms/62 miles due west of Victoria Falls, is abundant with wildlife all year round, and features the beautiful Chobe River on its northern boundary.
The Park is one of Africas prime game viewing areas.
The charm of Chobe is in its magnificent river; its floodplains filled with grazing herds of big game; the spectacle of flocks of waterfowl winging towards the sunset, and in knowing that this is one of Africas greatest wildlife refuges.
Throughout the area numerous clay-bottomed pans hold water during the short rainy season. This water away from the Okavango Delta and the northern border rivers allows thousands of head of game to live off the grasslands, mopane and mixed woodlands that dominate Chobe National Parks vegetation.
During the rainy season, from November, you can witness the zebra migration from the north-western area of Linyanti heading south through the Savute plains to the salt pans around Makgadikgadi, where the foals are born.
The herds then return to Linyanti between February and April.
