Know more about Kasane
On the 3-hour Chobe River Game Cruise you view abundant wildlife drinking at the water’s edge, including frequent sightings of elephants, hippos and crocodiles as animals make their way to the river. The river setting gives you a unique perspective to watch many species gather along the banks.
The cruise lasts three hours, allowing ample time to drift the river and observe changing animal activity at the water’s edge, increasing your chances of seeing groups of elephants crossing to river islands, hippos surfacing and crocodiles basking.
Elephants frequently cross the Chobe River to reach islands with lush, year-round grass, so the river cruise provides a strong chance to witness these dramatic crossings from a close and comfortable vantage point.
A leisurely river cruise offers an ideal vantage point to drift along the Chobe River and witness animals approaching to drink, providing close, uninterrupted wildlife viewing that differs from land-based safaris and highlights the park’s rich riverine ecosystems.
Yes - the relaxed pace of the river cruise makes it a family-friendly way to experience Chobe wildlife from the water, giving children and adults alike clear views of animals coming to drink and crossing to the river islands.
Drifting along the river on a comfortable boat places you at water level for unobstructed sightings of animals at the shore, hippos and crocodiles nearby, and elephants moving to islands - all of which create excellent opportunities for wildlife photography and observation.
