Best Time To Visit Chobe National Park
The Dry Season: July to October
This is the sweet spot. The dry season usually extends from May to early November, and game viewing along the Chobe River and Savuté is prime. It can get hot starting in August, so plan accordingly.
The Rainy Season: December to March
The rainy season. Great for bird watching and seeing the zebra migration in Savuti. The impala give birth during this time, so the predators are very active, too.
