Situated on the banks of the Chobe River, this small town is the gateway to Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park teems with elephants. They wander onto the fairways of the local golf courses. They feed contentedly between the reeds on Sedudu Island, photographed with enthusiasm by travellers on sunset cruises.
Sometimes they wander into Kasane town and the rangers have to drive them back into the national park. With a population of more than 120, 000 elephants, it’s almost a guarantee that visitors to Chobe will see an elephant from up close. Most of the action in Chobe takes place near the river, where animals gather in large numbers during the dry season. Visitors can enjoy exhilarating sightings from 4x4s on the river road, or from a boat on the meandering river at sunset.

“There are few activities that rival a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. Sitting on the boat's upper deck, surrounded by elephants and hippos and watching the tangerine, copper and crimson pyrotechnics of a Chobe sunset is one of the most magical experiences I have had on an African safari.”
More on Kasane holidays
Travellers who have visited this park list a sunset cruise on the Chobe River as the highlight of their tour. The boats cruise between pods of hippos and elephants feeding between the reeds, stopping near the banks where gargantuan crocodiles sun themselves and buffaloes congregate in large numbers to quench their thirst.
The animals have become accustomed to humans, which gives budding and professional photographers the chance to obtain the perfect shot. If you are looking to tick an African skimmer off your birding list, Chobe is the ideal place to do so. The river and its marshy habitat also attract a wide array of waterbirds such as the yellow-billed stork, African Openbill, African spoonbill, hamerkop and the elegant saddle-billed stork.
