Chobe Game Drive

Getting into the park early increases your chances of seeing lions and other wildlife that are less active in the heat of the day. The game drive into Chobe National Park starts as the gates open at 6 am. Your driver is a professional guide with extensive knowledge on the park and its inhabitants. The park is especially known for its massive elephant population, huge array of bird species, and big cats such as lions and leopards.

Discover some of the park’s distinct ecosystems with dense woodland, extensive Savannah, and rolling grasslands while travelling along the Caprivi flood plains. As this is a private game drive, you can ask your guide to tailor your trip towards specific bird life or wildlife if you like.
