The dawn on the Chobe riverfront arrives slow and loud: elephant herds break the waterline with heavy steps, hippos snort from dark pools, and a guide’s silhouette cuts across the boat as the sun throws light onto rippling channels.

History
The Okavango Delta is an inland delta formed by seasonal floods from Angolan highlands; Chobe became known for large elephant populations and early conservation efforts that shaped modern park management.
Conservation
Operators work with community-led conservation and practice low-impact camping; visitors should minimize plastic waste, stick to guided routes, and follow leave-no-trace principles to protect fragile wetland habitats.

Prepare for mokoro balance
Mokoro rides are low and narrow—bring a small daypack and practice steady footing to board and disembark safely.
Bring insect protection
Wetland mosquitoes are common in the wet season—use EPA-approved repellent and consider a permethrin-treated layer for evenings.
Pack a dry bag and layered clothing
Water crossings and early-morning drives mean damp gear and cool starts; keep electronics and layers protected in waterproof bags.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support and traction for short hikes, campsite terrain, and vehicle transfers.
Insect repellent and head net
Mosquitoes increase in the wet season; repellent and a lightweight head net improve comfort at dusk.
