Leopard at Chobe River

The Chobe River, tracing the northern edge of Botswana where the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe converge, is a perennial lifeline through Chobe National Park and a rewarding stretch of water for leopard sightings. Photographers joining Wildlife of the Chobe River will find October a particularly productive time to be along its banks, as the dry season draws wildlife close to this dependable water source. Patience near the riverine vegetation can be repaid with sightings of this elusive cat against the backdrop of the Chobe's life-giving waters. It's a location that rewards those willing to wait quietly for the right moment to present itself.
