The Chobe Northern Waterfront is a legendary safari area, where the elephant gather in enormous numbers during the dry season ... June to November. It is also the place where famously one can witness from a boat the spectacle of families of elephant swimming the river.

But in recent decades this wonderful area has been really spoiled. The number of vehicles that spill into the parks from Kasane and the number of booze-cruise boats out on the river has had a real theme-parking effect.

The bottom line is that on safari in Northern Botswana in the dry season you will see your fill of elephant without having to come here and spoil your impression of this largely wonderful part of the world.
