Discover the Untamed Beauty and Wildlife of the Chobe River
The Chobe River, located in the northern reaches of Chobe National Park, offers what is without a doubt one of the most unique and exceptional opportunities to view wildlife and birdlife from a completely different perspective. It is a rare privilege to witness Africa's magnificent fauna from the water, and the Chobe River provides this in abundance.
Equally impressive are the spectacular photographic opportunities, especially as the sun sets, casting a golden glow across the water. To say there is never a dull moment while aboard these floating wildlife viewing decks would be the understatement of the year. From vast herds of elephants drinking at the water's edge to the incredible diversity of birdlife, the experience is simply unforgettable. The Chobe River is an absolutely essential destination for any and all who visit Botswana.
(Please note: The photographs on this page, taken by us at Uyaphi.com to showcase this remarkable destination, do not do it justice due to an unfortunate error with camera settings—a lesson learned!)
