A river cruise through Chobe National Park is a unique way to see Botswana’s incredible wildlife, as huge concentrations of game congregate in the wetlands around the Chobe river. The elephants are the stars of the show, drawn to the banks of the river during the dry winter months, and you can also see species including hippos, Cape buffalo, crocodiles and the rare red lechwe and puku antelope. You can also combine a Chobe river cruise with a visit to thundering Victoria Falls, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
