enclosed by reed walls) under large mahogany trees on the
banks of the Chobe River. Like the rooms, the boma has been
furnished in teak and leather.
Safari activities at Chobe are diverse and exciting and
tailored to suit individual requirements. Game drives are
conducted in open four wheel-drive vehicles, normally early
morning and late afternoon and under the leadership of qualified
guides.
The Chobe floodplain is renown for its concentration of
buffalo and elephant and the late afternoon in particular,
provides spectacular viewing.
Game viewing and fishing by small
boats is also a special Chobe experience. Additionally, there
are also the sunrise and sunset cruises aboard the Mosi o'Tunya,
enabling you to view wildlife that congregate at the waters
edge at very close range in all safety, and which provide
spectacular wildlife viewing and vistas of an African sunset.
For the true lover of unspoilt Africa, these safaris will
capture the magnificence and very real essence of Botswana's
natural landscape and wildlife heritage.
