Chobe National Park Safari Tours

Chobe National Park is Botswana's oldest and most celebrated safari destination, home to Africa's largest elephant population — over 120,000 strong — roaming its riverfront floodplains, open savannah, and the legendary Savuti region. Few places on Earth deliver wildlife encounters of this scale and drama, making Chobe a bucket-list destination for safari lovers worldwide. With Amity Adventure, every moment — from a sunrise game drive to a golden-hour river cruise — is crafted for luxury, intimacy, and unforgettable impact.

Our Chobe safari tours span land and water, from thrilling Big 5 game drives across diverse habitats to peaceful boat safaris gliding past hippos, crocodiles, and over 450 bird species. Choose from luxury tented camps along the Chobe River, private concessions in the remote Linyanti, or a seamless multi-country itinerary combining Chobe with Victoria Falls, the Okavango Delta, or Namibia. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family, or a small group of adventurers, our expert-guided, tailor-made itineraries put you at the heart of Africa's greatest wildlife spectacle.

Pro Tip: Combine your Chobe safari with a Victoria Falls extension — the world's largest waterfall is just 1.5 hours away, making it the perfect add-on to an already extraordinary journey.

Pack lightweight, breathable layers in neutral colours for game drives, and add a warm fleece for cool early-morning starts — even in Botswana's warmer months, dawn on the river can be surprisingly brisk.
