If you’re an elephant enthusiast (and who isn’t?), the Chobe River should be at the top of your list. This area boasts one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, and a drive through Chobe National Park guarantees numerous sightings of these majestic creatures.

The Chobe River, forming the northern border of Botswana and Namibia, meanders through a vast floodplain that supports impressive wildlife concentrations, including wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, impala, and their predators.

For a unique perspective, take a tranquil Chobe boat safari to encounter these animals and birds up close.
