Chobe National Park sometimes comes under fire for being busy. And it’s true, there are a lot of elephants (it’s home to the largest population on earth). It attracts quite a lot of visitors, too. That’s why we always recommend lodges that are a little away from the waterfront.
While you’re there, keep your eyes peeled for the Puku antelope. You usually only see them in central Africa, but there are small populations living in Chobe and northern Botswana. (The best place to spot them are the grasslands next to rivers or swamps.)
