Hippopotamus at Chobe River

The Chobe River, tracing the northern edge of Botswana where it meets the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, is a perennial lifeline through Chobe National Park and a reliable stage for photographing hippopotamus. Travellers joining the Wildlife of the Chobe River holiday in October can expect the river's dry-season levels to concentrate wildlife along its banks, offering clear sightlines for images of these river-bound giants. Patience along the water's edge is rewarded here, with the Chobe's steady flow providing a consistent backdrop for framing hippos in their riverine setting. For photographers seeking this species in this particular corner of Botswana, the Chobe River remains a dependable and rewarding location.
