Activities / Wildlife:
The wildlife roams in
profusion and diversity. The elephant population, estimated to number
in excess 30,000, is the largest single concentration in Africa
surviving within the confines of a proclaimed National Park. During
the harsh season, the herds migrate south to north and congregate
along the perennial Chobe River fertile flood plains. Other major
species such as lion, square-lipped rhino, wild dog, sable and roan
antelope are encountered in many areas of the reserve.
Out on the open plains of
Savuti and Mababe, wildebeest, zebra and buffalo concentrate in massive
endless herds. The red lechwe and puku antelope co-exist on the
floodplain and marshland and indeed Chobe is the southern limit of range
of both these unique species. Within the riverine thickets, the nocturnal
leopard and rare Chobe bushbuck are often observed and the birdlife is
abundant and diverse with in excess of 450 species recorded. |
 |
| The beginning, or the end
of your day, often starts on the Chobe River. Here, with some luck,
you may be watching a herd of buffalo or elephants, as the sun sinks,
with a cocktail in hand and nibbling freshly roasted assorted nuts.
Game activities are done by open 4x4 custom made game viewing vehicles
& motor boats. Optional activities include mokoro trips on the Chobe
River, sightseeing in Victoria Falls and Hot Air Ballooning over
Namibia.
Things only get better when you return to the lodge, where
sherry and candle light await you in the privacy of your room.
Pre-dinner snacks and a 4-course meal, followed by a platter of
specially prepared cheese & biscuits will be for youre eating
pleasure. It is really "tough" in
Africa! Let Chobe Chilwero pamper you in a way that only we know how. |
