When visiting Chobe National Park, it's important to keep a few things in mind. The park offers a variety of game-viewing options, including game drives, boat safaris, and walking safaris, allowing visitors to experience wildlife from different perspectives. The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October), when animals gather around water sources, making wildlife sightings more frequent and spectacular. The wet season (November to April) offers lush landscapes and is ideal for birdwatching, but wildlife can be harder to spot due to the abundance of water. Be sure to pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good camera to capture the wildlife.

Chobe National Park is easily accessible from Victoria Falls, approximately a two-hour drive away. Travelers can cross into Botswana at the Kazungula border post, which connects Zimbabwe and Zambia to Botswana. There are also direct flights from Victoria Falls to Kasane, the nearest town to the park, which offers convenient access for visitors. Once in Kasane, you can arrange game drives and boat safaris through local tour operators. It’s advisable to book excursions in advance, especially during peak safari season, to ensure availability.

Chobe National Park is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your interests. The dry season (May to October) is ideal for game viewing, as wildlife congregates near water sources, making it easier to spot large herds of elephants, buffalo, and predators. The wet season (November to April) transforms the park into a lush paradise, perfect for birdwatching, with migratory birds flocking to the area. The lush greenery during this time also makes for beautiful landscape photography, but wildlife may be more dispersed due to the availability of water across the park.

For those staying in Victoria Falls, a day trip to Chobe National Park is a popular option. Guided game drives and boat safaris are the best ways to experience the park’s wildlife. A boat safari along the Chobe River offers an unforgettable experience, with the opportunity to see elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species up close. Game drives are another great way to explore the park's diverse ecosystems, and they often lead to sightings of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Chobe is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to add a safari adventure to their Victoria Falls trip.
