10 day The Authentic SafariA fully-serviced safari in the last, true wilderness of Africa - a photographer's delight!
  • Game drives
  • Campfire dinners
  • Boat cruise

You camp in secluded bush camps within the Moremi Wildlife Reserve and Chobe National Park sitting around the campfire at night beneath the stars, listening to the calls of the wild in the heart of game country.

The Chobe National Park is named after the river Chobe, which forms the northern boundary of the park. The river has its origins in Angola, where it is known as the Kuando. The Chobe meets with the Zambezi River near Kazangula at the border of Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Chobe River supports the largest concentration of elephant found anywhere in Africa. The elephants leave the river for the southern region of the park during the rainy season (December to March) at the time when food and water is freely available inland. Chobe is also famous for it huge herds of buffalo, the Chobe bushbuck, and for being the southern-most point where puku can be seen. The sunsets are exquisite during the winter months (June to August).
