Chobe National Park is an enormous stretch of wilderness, the vast majority of which is featureless mopane woodland.

During the dry season ... June to November ... the game emerges from this woodland to converge along the Chobe Waterfront and at the waterholes of Chobe Savuti. Animal densities in these locations at this time can be very high ... especially elephant.

The trouble is that these areas also attract huge numbers of self-drive and overland safari vehicles. In fact the traffic has become so bad that we no longer offer any safaris into Chobe or any other public access area in Botswana, heading instead for the superb private concession areas.
