The most remarkable feature of Chobe National Park is its huge concentration of elephants. But it's not just the elephants that make this special park worth visiting. Chobe National Park is world renowned for its predators - lions and spotted hyenas in particular as well as astonishingly high numbers of other big game species

The massive concession has an astonishing variety of eco-systems which range from floodplains, through woodlands of teak, mopane and acacia, to verdant grasslands studded with huge baobabs and riverine forests bordering the Chobe River. Flowing along the park's northern boundaries are the wildlife-rich Linyanti and Chobe Rivers, while in the south a huge open savanna

Chobe is a National Park, like so many in Africa, that is subject to the seasons - the rains above all. With the advent of the wet season in October and November, the waterholes and pans in the backcountry fill up and the game tends to drift off into the remote central areas while the Savuti region becomes a vital summer grazing area for huge herds of zebra and wildebeest. But the rains are over by April and the dry season changes the mood

The life-supporting clay pans in the mopane woodlands disappear as the dry season wears on, and the scattered elephant and buffalo populations congregate into larger herds. These herds migrate to the permanent water sources of the Chobe and Linyanti rivers, gathering there in their thousands. The game viewing along the Chobe River from June to October in particular is spectacular. As soon as the rains return, most animals disperse back to the labyrinth of woodlands but game viewing remains good nonetheless

The rains bring a further bonus in the excellent birding that is to be had as intra-African and Pala-arctic migrants arrive to join the resident bird species

On the banks of the mighty Chobe River lies the luxurious four-star Cresta Mowana Safari Lodge. In these tranquil surroundings you will come to experience true comfort, superb accommodation, magnificent Africa buffets and only the best in personalized ‘African-style’ service. Play a round of golf on the famous golf course or enjoy bird watching from the Mokoro – an unforgettable canoe trail on the Chobe. All 115 bedrooms boast spectacular river views and have been tastefully decorated in an ethnic style to complement the natural ambiance. Both the Serondella restaurant and Savuti cocktail Bar overlook the Chobe River and Namibian flood plains, the ultimate place to watch the abundant wildlife gather at twilight. Life doesn’t get much better than this
