Chobe National Park experience

Cruise the Chobe River at wildlife hour

Watch Chobe's floodplain from the water as elephants, buffalo and antelope may come to drink in the cooler afternoon.

The experience

Watch the riverfront from the animals' waterline

The Chobe River forms the park's northern boundary and draws wildlife from woodland to open floodplain, especially through the dry season.

From a small boat, the guide can hold position without adding another vehicle to the bank and explain the movement between grazing, shade and water.

Experience FAQ

Cruise the Chobe River at wildlife hour

Q01Are large elephant herds guaranteed?

No. Dry-season concentrations can be remarkable, but herd size and location change daily.

Q02What kind of boat is best?

I favor a small stable boat with a wildlife guide rather than a crowded leisure cruise.

Plan with Alex

Plan the Chobe cruise

Cross Deadvlei at dawn, follow desert wildlife tracks near Swakopmund and wait beside an Etosha waterhole as elephants emerge through the dust.

We will begin with your dates, your pace and the image that brought Namibia into your mind. From there, I will draw the journey that belongs to you.

Portrait of Alex

I want Namibia's defining moments at their best: Deadvlei before the heat, the living desert while tracks are still sharp, Etosha as elephants approach the water. Around them, we make time for the guides, makers and conservationists who turn a beautiful road into a journey you understand.
