Days 6 & 7: Chobe National Park

Chobe in northern Botswana is notable for it’s diversity of landscape and the mighty Chobe River. 35,000 elephants roam the forests, floodplains and marshlands: the biggest herds still roaming Africa and some of the largest recorded specimens. Watch buffalo, lion, wild dog and other animals roam the riverbanks, stopping to drink and splash. A river cruise is an unforgettable way to cap off your experience in Botswana.
