Chobe Safari at Chobe Chilwero | Botswana | Chobe National Park |
| This short safari in to the Chobe National Park can be added to a stay in Victoria Falls or combined with our other Botswana safaris. The Chobe river is known for some of the best elephant viewing in Africa in the winter months (May to October), with huge herds of up to 500 or more at the end of the dry season. Lion are common, and almost expected, with buffalo, cheetah and an amazing variety of antelope often sighted. This safari is at Chobe Chilwero but there is a choice of lodges to suit all tastes and budgets. |

 Day 1 : Arrive Kasane. 2 nights, Chobe Chilwero Lodge, Fully Inclusive
On arrival at Kasane airport you will be met and transferred to Chobe Chilwero Lodge. Chobe National Park lies in the northeast of Botswana, teeming with animals, in particular with huge herds of elephant and buffalo. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles in the National Park as well as boat cruises down the river which is another form of game-viewing. Chobe Chilwero is the finest lodge in the Chobe area with 15 individually designed luxurious cottages blending in perfectly with the natural vegetation. The beautiful thatched main lodge comprises a stylish and contemporary lounge and dining room linked by spectacular viewing decks.

Day 2 : On safari at Chobe
Chobe’s animal migrations follow an ancient pattern, only partly understood by man. However, broadly speaking, the game is drawn to the Chobe River during the dry winter season and spreads out to the open grasslands of the Savute marsh and interior pans of the Mababe depression during the wetter summer months. Huge herds of up to 500 or more elephants congregate at the end of the dry season. Lion are common, and almost expected, with buffalo, cheetah and an amazing variety of antelope often sighted. The river is alive with crocodile and hippo and marvellous birdlife, including kingfishers and bee-eaters.

 Day 3 : Return to Kasane
After a final game drive and brunch, you are transferred back to Kasane for your onward journey.
