There is also a migratory route between Chobe National Park and Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park. This circuit is known for its massive elephant concentrations.
Seasons:
Dry season: Chobe plays hosts to hoards of tourists from May to October, a rainless period that as the months progress and inland water systems dry up, forces animals to congregate in huge numbers along the river. Dense game populations have no option but to be cautious; the pursuit of nourishment and browsing is both difficult and dangerous, especially in October, the best month for game viewing, but uncomfortable due to the intense heat.
Rainy season: Rains often begin around mid-December, although can start in November. They normally peak during January and February and peter out in March. Self-drive tours can be demanding as the clay soil is difficult in places to negotiate, but much of the Chobe River area is accessible. Temperatures and humidity are high during these hotter months and mosquitoes are out in force. As the rains irrigate the land, a striking variety of wild flowers appear. Bird life is absolutely amazing and it is the calving and lambing season for many animals; a timely delight for hungry predators queueing for a 'take away'. If you can put up with stretches of knee-deep mud and a torrential downpour or six, then Chobe at this time of year is a real treat.
Self Driving:
Visitors travelling through Chobe must remember that everywhere in the park is 'in the middle of nowhere'. There are no services whatsoever between Kasane and Maun and due to the nature of the terrain, 4x4 vehicles must be used. Roads are not always clearly marked and stretches of deep sand are common. In the rainy seasons, tracks (if they can be followed at all) will turn into mini-swamps or be covered by large pools of water. In line with many national parks, off-road and night driving is not permitted. As capabilities of both vehicle and driver will be severely tested, it is essential to take as a minimum in your self-drive vehicle
