Best Times to Visit Chobe National Park

Rivers, seasons, and spectacular wildlife moments

Camp Kazuma and Wildtracks Eco lodge sit on the now-fenceless border, surrounded by Hwange National Park, Kazuma Pans National Park, Kazuma Forest Reserve and Chobe National Park, all of which are unfenced. In the dry season the wildlife from these areas flock to the few permanent water holes close to the lodge, and large herds of elephants and the rare sable and roan antelope. The only thing you don't see there are numerous other vehicles. There are no self-drivers, no day trippers, and only one other lodge 30 kilometres away. The wildlife is yours, as are the sublime sunsets.

Kruger, Vic Falls, & Chobe

We had talked to a few tour companies and we are so glad we went with Indigo Safaris. Price to service ratio was excellent. We cannot recommend Matthew enough!! He did a great itinerary for us - from Kruger park to Victoria falls and Chobe park. The places chosen were excellent - from high end to more boutique, all with our budget in mind. He changed and updated the itinerary through our early indecisiveness and brought us to places we did not imagine. But it was the little things that really mattered- arranging a birthday celebration for our daughter at the safari lodge and also making a dream come true with a bungee jump - ensuring she was the first to jump that day so we could make our plane. Booking day trips through Matthew were the same price as going direct….yet so much more convenient - he made magic happen to fit our schedules at short notice. He was available at any time. He was always willing to go the extra mile. And we all had an amazing trip thanks to the great work from Matthew. Thank you so much.

Namibia and Botswana – 15-day dventure & Chobe Safari

Indigo safaris did an amazing job booking the perfect trip to Namibia and Botswana for two sixty year old women. Michele listened to what we wanted from our trip and designed a holiday which fitted our needs. Michele was quick to respond to messages even while we were away and even helped resolve issues that she had not even created. I can’t rate her highly enough.
