Luxury Safaris In Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park: An Oasis for All
The original inhabitants of Chobe were the Bushmen, followed by the Hambukushu, Bayei, and Basubiya tribes. In the 1850s, explorer David Livingstone passed through on his way to Victoria Falls, attracting big-game hunters pursuing trophies and ivory. Thankfully, this unique ecosystem was protected as a game reserve in 1961 and designated a national park in 1968.
Today, Chobe boasts exceptional wildlife density, often requiring visitors to pause for animals crossing their path—much more enjoyable than waiting at a traffic light! Strict visitor limits help maintain the park’s serene atmosphere, enhancing the exclusive Chobe safari experience.
