African Wild Dog at Chobe River

Along the Chobe River, where Botswana's far northern border meets Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, this perennial waterway forms the lifeblood of Chobe National Park and draws in a wealth of wildlife along its banks, African Wild Dog included. October is the month to plan around, when conditions along the river are typically most favourable for tracking this species. Photographers joining the Wildlife of the Chobe River holiday will have the chance to work the riverside habitat for sightings, using the water's edge as a natural focal point for compositions. Patience and a willingness to scan the fringes of the river are rewarded here, given how central this waterway is to the area's wildlife.
