Chobe National Park Safari from Australia

Where the Elephants Come to Drink

Tens of thousands of elephants · Riverfront game drives · Boat safaris

Chobe is where Botswana's elephants are easiest to see. Botswana has the largest elephant population of any country, roughly 130,000 animals, and in the dry season tens of thousands gather along the Chobe River, in herds that can top a hundred at a time. The park covers about 11,700 square kilometres in the north of Botswana, with the town of Kasane on its edge and Namibia across the river. Two ways of watching wildlife run side by side here: road drives along the Serondela riverfront follow the herds from a 4x4, and boat safaris cruise the same shoreline from the water.

Serondela & the Chobe Riverfront

Serondela is the part of Chobe most travellers come for. The river forms the park's northern edge, and the floodplains beside it hold the densest concentration of elephants from May to October. A morning drive along the riverfront road opens with breeding herds drinking, and the afternoon boat puts you at eye level with hippo, crocodile and whichever herd has chosen the river for the day.

Savuti

Savuti is a very different Chobe, a long way from the riverfront. The Savuti Channel runs from the Linyanti swamps on its own irregular rhythm, flowing for years and then drying out entirely, so the marsh and the plains change from visit to visit. Either way the area is known for strong predator numbers, and Savuti's lion prides are famous for taking on elephants.

Private concessions · Third stop

Linyanti

The Linyanti swamps in the north-west are a wetland system next door to the Okavango Delta, and the wildlife sits within a patchwork of private concessions. The camps are small and all-inclusive, often with walks, night drives and off-road tracking the national park roads don't allow. The wildlife is exceptional: large lion prides, elephants in numbers through the dry months, hippo in the waterways and a rich bird life.

Victoria Falls, Next Door

Kasane is about 90 minutes by road from Victoria Falls plus the border crossing, so the falls and Chobe fit together naturally: two or three nights at the falls for both sides, a helicopter flight and a sunset cruise, then two or three on the river. Most of our travellers come at Chobe this way, because the falls are the easiest gateway from Australia.

How to Experience It

Boats, Drives and Open Country

Chobe rewards a mix of water and land. Most trips combine the two.

Afternoon boat cruise

A small launch along the shoreline puts you at eye level with elephants drinking, hippo, crocodiles on the sandbanks and fish eagles, with the light turning gold on the water.

Elephants wading across the Chobe River at sunset

Riverfront game drives

Morning drives along the Serondela road follow the breeding herds, sparring bulls and the rotation of buffalo, kudu and impala to the water.

Savuti game drives

Open-vehicle drives across big horizons and the Savuti Channel, for lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena and wild dog. There's no boat here, which is part of the appeal.

Linyanti activities

Private concessions along the Linyanti swamps often offer walks and night drives as well as day drives. Walks usually have higher minimum ages, so check each camp's rule.

Photography from the water

A boat sits low, close to the water line, and the elephants come down to drink in the last light. It's the best light of the day, so it's worth planning your afternoons around it.

How Chobe Fits Into a Trip

Trip Shapes

Chobe scales from a single-day add-on to a four-night anchor. Most of our travellers come at it through Victoria Falls, the easiest gateway from Australia. Every trip is private and priced to your dates, so these are starting points.

1 day

Victoria Falls Day Trip

Falls to Kasane and back

Cross the border from Victoria Falls, drive to Kasane (about 90 minutes plus the crossing), do a morning game drive and an afternoon boat cruise, then return to the falls that evening. The Chobe riverfront in a day. Best for the time-poor and first-time Southern Africa visitors.

Plan Your Visit

When to Visit Chobe

The dry season is when the elephant herds concentrate at the river. The green season spreads them into the inland woodland, but brings newborns, birds and lower rates. Want it month by month, and for the Okavango Delta too? Read our best time to visit Botswana guide.

The river this month

January

Green season

The wettest and lushest stretch. The herds spread into the inland woodland, the park turns green and the birding is at its best.

Some inland tracks can become impassable
Green-season rates

Herd numbers follow the rains, so this shifts from year to year. We talk in seasons and never promise a count.

Dry season, May to October
Shoulder months, November and April
Green season, December to March

Dry season

May to October

Dry · Cool mornings · Herds at the river

The bush dries out, inland waterholes disappear and the elephant herds head for the Chobe River, so the riverfront is at its richest. Mornings and nights are cold on open vehicles and boats, especially in June and July, and October is the hottest month before the rains. Predator action is strong in Savuti.

May to June: herds building at the river, with cool mornings
July to September: the biggest herds, with herds of a hundred or more by August and September
October: hot and dry, with big herds still at the water

Best for the elephants and the afternoon cruise

Shoulder months

November and April

First rains or last rains · Lower rates · Fewer vehicles

November brings the first rains, usually late in the month, impala lambing and the arrival of migrant birds, as the herds begin to spread inland. April is the other end of the same story: the rains easing, green-season rates and the herds starting to drift back towards the river as the inland pools shrink.

November: first rains and impala lambing
April: rains easing, with green-season rates
Who it suits: travellers who want lower rates with a good chance of elephants at the river

Best for value either side of the dry season

Green season

December to March

Rains · Newborns · Birding · Lower rates

The herds spread into the inland woodland, so the riverfront is quieter, but the park turns green, migrant birds arrive and newborn animals appear. Some inland tracks can become impassable from January to March, and a few remote camps close in the wettest weeks.

December to February: the wettest and lushest months, with the best birding
March: rains easing, with green-season rates
Tracks: some inland routes can become impassable from January to March

Best for birders, photographers and lower rates

From Australia

Getting to Chobe

Johannesburg is the hub. Qantas flies there non-stop from Sydney and Perth, and from there scheduled flights run to Kasane for Chobe, or to Victoria Falls, from where it's about 90 minutes by road plus the border.

Step one

Your Australian city

There's no non-stop flight from Australia to Botswana, so every route connects through a hub. You fly out of your own city and we build the connections around it.
- Sydney
- Melbourne
- Brisbane
- Perth
- Adelaide
Step two

Johannesburg

Qantas flies non-stop from Sydney and Perth to Johannesburg, roughly 14 to 15 hours from Sydney and about 11 from Perth. From other cities you connect, including one-stop options through Singapore.

- Singapore
14 to 15 hours, Sydney to Johannesburg
Step three

Kasane (BBK) or Victoria Falls

Scheduled flights run from Johannesburg to Kasane, the gateway town on the park's edge. Many travellers fly to Victoria Falls instead and cross by road, about 90 minutes plus the border. The transfer we've booked meets you at the door.

Your first night is at a riverfront lodge or camp, with nothing planned beyond dinner and, if the timing works, the afternoon boat. The first game drive is the next morning, with the lodge's own guide.

Tell us your dates first

We lock the camps, then the flights. The river camps book out first in the June to October season, and Savuti and Linyanti have only a handful of beds each. Chobe is in Botswana, so a day trip from Victoria Falls crosses a border each way: we plan the timings and the transfers, and we add a night either side of a tight flight because the border can take time. Once your deposit is in, we place your camps, flights and transfers together, and that's the time to take out your travel insurance.

Flights

Qantas flies non-stop from Sydney and Perth to Johannesburg, and from there scheduled flights run to Kasane for Chobe, and to Victoria Falls and Maun. From other cities you connect, and we usually route via Singapore, Johannesburg or Addis Ababa. Schedules change, so we check them when we build your trip, and we price flights from Australia when you're ready to book because fares move.

The time difference

Botswana runs on UTC+2 all year, with no daylight saving. Perth is six hours ahead. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are eight hours ahead all year, and Sydney is eight hours ahead in winter and nine during daylight saving time.

The Practical Bits

Safety, Park Fees, Children and Packing

The short version of what to sort before you fly. For visas and anything medical we point you to the official sources, starting with Smartraveller.

Visas and entry

Visa and passport rules are yours to confirm, and they change. Start with smartraveller.gov.au, check any extra documents if you're travelling with children under 18, and if you're crossing from Victoria Falls, check the rules for Zimbabwe or Zambia too.

Health and malaria

Malaria and yellow fever are medical questions, so see a travel doctor before you book and take your full itinerary. Smartraveller says malaria is present and widespread in the north of Botswana, which includes Chobe. On yellow fever, we generally tell people the vaccine is worth having, as one shot lasts a lifetime, but your doctor always has the last say.

Is it safe?

At our last check (17 October 2026), Smartraveller's level for Botswana was exercise normal safety precautions. Petty crime is common in towns, so we arrange transfers. On safari the main risks are wildlife and water: it says wildlife attacks and waterborne diseases can occur, to keep a safe and legal distance from animals and not to swim in freshwater lakes and rivers. Read the latest at smartraveller.gov.au.

Park fees

Park and conservation fees are folded into your quote, and most camps include them in the nightly rate, so there's nothing to sort at the gate. See what an African safari costs and how booking works.

Children and age rules

Chobe's riverfront lodges are generally easier for younger children than the Delta camps, and some, such as Chobe Marina Lodge, have child rates for under-12s sharing with parents. Walks and some remote camps set higher minimum ages, so tell us the ages in your group and we'll check. Our family safari guide covers ages by activity.

What to pack

Layers, because dry-season mornings and nights are cold on open vehicles and boats, plus neutral clothes, a hat, sunscreen, binoculars and a light rain shell for the green season. Our packing list has the rest.

Go Further

Pair Chobe With

Chobe is the gateway as much as the destination. These are the three pairings we build most.

90 minutes by road

Victoria Falls

Two or three nights at the falls for both sides, a helicopter flight and a sunset cruise, then the river. Three nights at a lodge came to A$1,350 to A$1,950 per person in 19 of our 2027 quotes.

The Okavango Delta

From Chobe the Delta follows by light aircraft, so a loop of the falls, Chobe and the Delta works over about ten nights. Johannesburg connects them all by scheduled flights.

Search the questions

Can't see your question? Ask us directly and a real person will answer.

Planning and cost

Can we visit Chobe as a day trip from Victoria Falls?

Yes. Kasane is about 90 minutes by road from Victoria Falls plus the border crossing, so a day trip means an early start, a morning game drive on the riverfront, lunch at a lodge, an afternoon boat cruise and the drive back. It's a good taste, and the elephants are the draw. If you have the time, two or three nights inside the park are a better answer, with room to add Savuti or Linyanti. See our Victoria Falls page.

How many days do we need at Chobe?

If you only have a day, the riverfront day trip is real safari. With two or three nights you can settle into the river, and with four or more you can split the time between the riverfront for elephants and Savuti or Linyanti for predators and wilderness. Most travellers pair two or three nights at Chobe with two or three at Victoria Falls.

How much does a Chobe safari cost from Australia?

Two nights at an all-inclusive Chobe river camp, an easy road transfer from Victoria Falls, came to A$2,000 to A$2,900 per person in four of our 2027 quotes, with flights from Australia extra. Savuti and Linyanti camps vary a lot by camp and month, so we price those to your dates. See what an African safari costs and real trips with the real prices.

Can we combine Chobe with Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta?

Yes, and they fit together well. Chobe is a road transfer from Victoria Falls, and the Okavango Delta follows by light aircraft, so a loop of the falls, Chobe and the Delta works over about ten nights. Johannesburg connects them all by scheduled flights, and you can add Cape Town or Namibia. See our Victoria Falls, Botswana and Namibia pages.

When to go

When is the best time to visit Chobe?

May to October is the dry season, when the bush dries out, inland waterholes disappear and the elephant herds funnel onto the Chobe River, with herds of a hundred or more by August and September. Mornings are cold on open vehicles and boats in June and July. November to April is the green season, with rain, newborn animals and migrant birds, but the herds spread into the inland woodland. Our best time to visit Botswana guide goes month by month.

Getting there

How do we get to Chobe from Australia?

Qantas flies non-stop from Sydney and Perth to Johannesburg, roughly 14 to 15 hours from Sydney and 11 from Perth, and from there scheduled flights run to Kasane for Chobe. Many travellers fly to Victoria Falls instead and cross by road. From other cities you connect, including one-stop options through Singapore. Schedules change, so we check them when we build your trip, and we price flights from Australia when you're ready to book because fares move.

On safari

How many elephants are there in Chobe?

Botswana has the largest elephant population of any country, roughly 130,000 animals, and a large share of them live in northern Botswana. In the dry season tens of thousands gather along the Chobe River, and herds of a hundred or more can drink together by August and September. Numbers at the river drop in the green season, when the herds spread into the inland woodland.

What is the difference between the riverfront, Savuti and Linyanti?

The Serondela riverfront is the elephant sector, with road drives and boat cruises along the Chobe River, and it's the easiest to reach from Kasane or Victoria Falls. Savuti is predator country, with big lion prides, a channel and marsh that flow in some years and dry in others, and traditional vehicle drives. Linyanti is a quiet, remote network of private concessions on the swamps, usually reached by light aircraft, with small all-inclusive camps.

Is a boat cruise or a game drive better at Chobe?

Do both. The boat puts you at eye level with elephants drinking, hippo and crocodiles, and the last hour of light on the water is the best of the day. The road drive covers more ground and finds the buffalo, antelope and predators that avoid the water's edge. Most days on the riverfront pair a morning drive with an afternoon cruise.

Health, visas and safety

Is Chobe safe for tourists?

When we last checked, on 17 October 2026, Smartraveller's level for Botswana was exercise normal safety precautions. It notes that petty crime is common in towns and that violent crime and carjackings can occur, so we arrange transfers. On safari the main risks are wildlife and water: it says wildlife attacks and waterborne diseases can occur, to keep a safe distance from animals and not to swim in freshwater lakes and rivers. Read the latest at smartraveller.gov.au.

Do Australians need a visa for Botswana?

Checking your visa and passport requirements is your job, and the rules change. Look at smartraveller.gov.au, check any extra documents for travelling with children under 18, and if you're crossing from Victoria Falls, check the rules for Zimbabwe or Zambia too.

Is malaria a risk at Chobe, and do I need a yellow fever certificate?

Both are medical questions for your doctor. Smartraveller says malaria is present and widespread in the north of Botswana, which includes Chobe. On yellow fever, we generally tell people the vaccine is worth having, as one shot lasts a lifetime, but your doctor always has the last say. Raise your whole itinerary with a travel doctor before you book, and check smartraveller.gov.au for current entry rules.
