Visiting the Victoria Falls from Chobe is easy. The falls are only about 90km away and a quick road transfer can be arranged by most hotels. Visitors should note that each side of the falls offer very different views and they should speak to their travel consultant as to which side offers better viewing.
Traditionally the Zimbabwean side is considered better.
Visitors should also be mindful of visa charges for Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Fantastic sighting of lion behind Chobe Game Lodge. Two big males and lioness.
Temperatures have continued to climb and are now very pleasant indeed. The Zebras have continued to move back to the river from the interior and sightings are becoming more frequent. Good lion sightings continue.
Today we were privilaged to see a lioness with her week old cubs.
Serondela area (or Chobe riverfront) in the north east has lush plains and dense forests which attract huge numbers of elephants and buffalo. The Serondela area is the most visited part of Chobe National Park, as it is situated near Victoria Falls.
The Chobe National Park is located in the Northern part of Botswana and comprises an area of approximately 11 000 km². The park lies along the Chobe River, which borders Botswana and Namibia. The Chobe National Park is the second largest park in Botswana and is known for its superb game viewing all year round as it has one of the largest populations of game on the African continent. Chobe is probably most well known for its impressive herds of African Elephants. The Chobe River supports the largest concentration of elephant found anywhere in Africa and it is not uncommon to encounter herds in excess of a hundred.
The Chobe River has its origins in Angola, where it is known as the Kwando River. When it enters Botswana, the Kwando River becomes the Linyanti and then near Ngoma Gate it becomes the Chobe River. The Chobe River meets up with the Zambezi River near Kazangula at the border of Botswana. Guests are able to fish for tigerfish and bream in both the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers, which undoubtedly are the premier tigerfishing waters in Africa.
