Elephant herds

What you'll do

Take to the plains of Chobe National Park in Northern Botswana, the elephant capital of the world, on a game drive to remember. Leave as dawn breaks or in the dusky late afternoon when herds of strolling elephant make their way to the banks of Chobe River and nearby waterholes to drink, splash and cool off. Your guide has all the know-how to find elephant on the move and with more than two thirds of Africa's pachyderm population, you can't go wrong. This is especially true in the dry season (June to September). Stop for a late morning cup of coffee or an early evening cocktail as elephants meander past before returning to base.
