we went deep in the Chobe National park, trying to get our way on our own as i instructed the ranger cause we where about 5 cars in a raw this couldn't do well with me,fare enough we took another turn driving in a northward direction of the Park after some quiet a drive at last it paid we saw a leopard just on the side of the road but because of the bushy area where we were we could not take any picture but we waited and after 5 minutes of waiting, we saw the cat coming out slowly and there it was in front of our vehicle and guess what we took load and loads of photos, within the next 5 minutes we saw a cloudy like dust approaching us and in few minutes there was 15 to 20 game drive vehicles around us
but all in all i loved it
it was great experience indeed

The Happiest Elephants in the World
Going to Chobe was an instant decicion of us (me and a friend of mine). We spent some days in the Okavango Delta and were prepared to leave for the Viktoria Falls. Then suddenly we realized that it is possible to interrupt our trip and spend a few hours in Chobe. This is why I have no opinion on hotels. Even I spent only few hours on a boat on the Chobe river, this has left deep impressions. One can see an incredible number of elephants playing in the water, hipos, birds, alligators. I wish I could spend more time there.

Elephants, so many elephants!
Imagine your favorite animal: An animal that you've only seen on television or zoos until today. An animal that maybe was one of the reasons for you to go on Safari. An animal that you can't see enough of. And now imagine seeing it everyday from just a few meters away, so close you can almost touch it. That's Chobe.
I love elephants and I've seen so many of them in Chobe that - truth be told - at the end I was kind of sick of them. It was glorious.

season also meant that we had very little traffic in the park and had nearly private game drives from our lodge. It was also baby time! Lots of young animals- especially baby elephants which may be the cutest! The park seems to be well managed and guides are respectful of the land and animals- we had such a wonderful, wonderful time in Chobe.

Check the weather before you go
Unlike guides in other parks (that I will not mention), the ones at Chobe National Park were professional, punctual and knowledgeable. Check the weather before you go. If it is raining, the safari will be cancelled so book a few days not just one day to be safe. Take a wind proof jacket on the safari, it is very cold even in the summer. Safaris are either during sunrise or sunset when animals are more visible.

The Wildlife here is absolutely amazing! The narula beauty, especially by the Chobe River is excellent. Birding is just as great here. It is a popular destination though, and many tourists visit this park, but you will still experience a great bush vibe here.
Wildlife, specially elephants are present in huge numbers. Also many species of birds can be seen. Excellent destination.

I saw so many animals nearly every moment of every day while staying at the lodge. The location and views were spectacular! This was definitely not a "touristy" place, but was very safe and accommodating to us tourists.
