AndBeyond Chobe Under Canvas

AndBeyond Chobe Under Canvas is in Northern Botswana’s famous Chobe National Park.

Northern Botswana’s famous Chobe National Park is a must-see wildlife destination accessed via Kasane Airport.

Covering almost 11,000 km² (6,836 mi.²) it was the country’s first national park.

A haven for wildlife in the dry season, Chobe is renowned for its large concentration of elephants and buffalo, which congregate along the Chobe River.

AndBeyond Chobe Under Canvas is situated in the park’s northern reaches, ideally positioned close to the river.

Live the adventure of a lifetime as close to nature as you can get.

Chobe is particularly well known for its large herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as the two antelope that cannot be encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and Chobe bushbuck.

In addition to the vast floodplains that occur along the river, Chobe offers tracks of dry savannah. Dense teak woodland provides thick cover in the north-eastern parts of the reserve.

Watching the elephant families drink and bathe in the river is an unforgettable sight, even more impressive when herds of buffalo, rafts of hippos, and gigantic Nile crocodiles are part of the scene. Lion and spotted hyena are frequently seen on the floodplains, where red lechwe, puku, zebra, sable and roan come out to graze.
