Incentive | Conference | Venue | Destination - Chobe

The Chobe National Park is the second largest national park in Botswana and covers 10,566 sq km. It also has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent.

One of the main features of Chobe is the vast elephant population. Estimated to number around 120,000 these magnificent animals are an integral part of the Chobe experience. Another major feature is the Chobe River. Throughout the year, animals of every description congregate at the river´s edge. Sunset is a spectacular time with animals silhouetted against the vivid backdrop of Africa’s sunsets.

This is one region within Botswana able to effectively cope with large and small numbers. Guests to the area will be treated to some of the best game viewing imaginable. It is a particularly good combination destination venue with Victoria Falls, Cape Town or Mozambique.

CLIMATE:

As with much of Southern Africa, there are really only two distinct seasons, winter and summer.
Summer, September to March is generally warm day and night, whilst winter is warm during the day, but can be chilly in the evenings and early mornings. The best time to visit in terms of game viewing is during the drier months, May to November, although the region is so populated with game that all year round it is reasonable.

Botswana is blessed with spectacular
landscapes and abundant wildlife. The Kalahari dominates the central and southern areas of Botswana and has concentrations of wildlife including giraffe, gemsbok, hartebeest, eland, kudu, springbok, lion, cheetah and wild dog.
