However, it is one of the world’s few inland deltas. Highlights are game viewing, birding, fishing, sighting the elusive Sitatunga antelope, game drives as well as nature walks.
In the heart of Chobe National Park lies a dynamic wilderness, Savute. Experience wild dogs hunt in the channel where crocodiles swam twenty years ago. Enjoy Gubatsa Hills shelter leopard, klipspringer and rock paintings of early man’s wildlife sightings. During the arid winter months, you will spot bull elephants, antelope, lion prides, black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe and kudu in the Savute region. In the summer rains, you will spot feast of lion, hyena, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest, buffalos and approximately 300 bird species.

However, highlights include scenic flights over the falls in helicopters or micro lights, bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls Bridges, white-water rafting and a day trip to the Chobe National Park.
