CHOBE NATIONAL PARK

Chobe Camping

Chobe Camping

Chobe camping is an unforgettable experience inside the Chobe National park. There are public and tour operator campsites located inside the Chobe. Any traveller or visitor is allowed to make use of the public campgrounds. These are limited and very popular. We do advise that you book well in advance. The Tour operator campsites are located within the bush and perfect for a mobile safari.

Travellers with no 4×4 experience are recommended to partake on a guided mobile safari. Local guides and local companies have excellent knowledge of the wildlife and the Chobe park. When you join a local safari company, you will most likely be staying in a wild bush camp. The public camp offers showers and toilets and water. It is however still recommended to carry your water, firewood and meals.

Chobe Camping Trips. 

  • Two days Chobe Camping.
  • Three days Chobe Camping.
  • Five days Chobe Camping.
  • Seven days Chobe &  Savuti Camping.
  • 12 day Chobe, Savuti, Moremi & Okavango Delta Camping.

Animals are wild and do roam free inside the Chobe national park. Please consider this when camping at the public campsites in the Chobe park. We do recommend that no food is left out at your campsite. This attracts wildlife and can create some uncomfortable experiences. When leaving your campsite during the day, we recommend storing all food and rubbish safely.

We do recommend that you join a local mobile safari company when visiting Chobe National Park. There are many 4×4 two spoor track roads along with a high concentration of animals. Travellers with no experience can quickly get themselves into uncomfortable situations inside the park.

When visiting the Chobe Park, you are not allowed to leave the two spoor track roads. Please follow the rules and stay on the designated routes.
