WHEN TO VISIT

The best time to visit Chobe National Park is from May to October, which is the dry season. The weather during this time is excellent, and animals tend to gather near water, so it’s easier to spot them.

However, the wet season (from November to April) can also be a good time to visit because the park is very green, and bird watching is excellent. Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on what you like.
