Chobe, a Botswana national park, is famed for Africa's densest elephants and river cruises.

📍 Destination Overview

Chobe National Park, in northern Botswana on the Chobe River, is a top southern African safari destination famed for one of Africa's densest elephant populations. In the dry season, huge herds gather at the river to drink and bathe. Boat safaris glide past hippos, crocodiles, buffalo and waterbirds, most memorably at sunset; it is often combined with nearby Victoria Falls.
