One of the best ways of enjoying Chobe is to take a houseboat vacation. Two or three night sailings are available throughout the year.
These cruises combine the relaxed atmosphere of an hotel with all the exciting wildlife sightings of a game reserve.
Birding on the Chobe river is quite easy and very rewarding. Look carefully along the riverbanks for night herons and squacco herons. Fish eagles will let you know where they are and numerous stork species dot the islands and banks.
