Chobe in October

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

October is one of the hottest months in Chobe, with temperatures hitting about 35°C/86°F to 40°C/104°F. Elephants will soon start to disperse from the permanent rivers, after which things quiet in Chobe Riverside.

Shoulder season rates kick in, but as there is likely to be little rain, this is still a good month for travelers who like it warm. There’s good fishing around Impalila Island. Hot nights are also good for sleep-outs and camping.
