African Skimmer at Chobe River

The Chobe River, tracing Botswana's far northern border where the country meets Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, is one of the best places to train a lens on the African Skimmer. This perennial waterway skirts the edge of Chobe National Park and remains the lifeblood of the region, drawing photographers keen to capture this striking bird along its banks. October is typically the month to plan around for the best opportunities. Those joining the Wildlife of the Chobe River holiday will find this stretch of water a rewarding focus for their African Skimmer photography.
