Chobe Riverfront

The riverside strip along the northern edge of Chobe National Park, where open-vehicle game drives reveal elephants, buffalo, lions and herds of antelope. This area has the highest density of African elephants.

The riverfront stretches from Sedudu Gate on the west side of Kasane all the way to Serondela and Ihaha. On the floodplains you often see herds of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, sable antelope and red lechwe. If you are lucky, you may spot lions and leopards.

Most visitors take a morning or afternoon open-vehicle game drive of about 3 hours. Self-drive vehicles must be four-wheel drive and must register and pay at the gate. The park opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. In the dry season the sand on the roads runs deep, and some sections close in the rainy season.
