Chobe National Park

The river that never runs dry

Chobe is often paired with Victoria Falls on a Muto Tours itinerary, and the pairing works because the two destinations show Africa from opposite angles — one on foot and by vehicle, the other from a flat-bottomed boat gliding along the Chobe River. The park holds one of the continent's densest elephant populations — estimates for the wider Chobe ecosystem run well into six figures — and a late-afternoon cruise puts you close enough to hear them drink.

The crossing from Victoria Falls into Chobe (via Kazungula, at the point where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia meet) is typically a half-day affair by road, which is why Chobe works well as a single overnight extension or as the first leg of a longer Botswana route toward Maun and the Okavango Delta. Game viewing here splits naturally into two rhythms: a vehicle-based game drive through the riverfront and woodland, and a river cruise where hippos, crocodiles, and the birdlife along the banks come into much closer range than they would from a vehicle.

Typical Route

Chobe sits just across the border from Victoria Falls and is typically visited as a day trip or overnight before heading deeper into Botswana.
