Worth agreeing on before you meet

Elephant Kingdom

Chobe has the highest concentration of elephants in Africa — around 120,000. They have right of way everywhere, including on roads. If an elephant approaches your vehicle, turn off the engine and sit quietly. Never get between a mother and her calf. Most elephant encounters are peaceful if you are calm and respectful.

Boat Etiquette

Boat captains are required to maintain minimum distances from wildlife. Do not pressure your captain to get closer — approaching too near stresses animals and is illegal. The best sightings come from patience and silence, not proximity. Elephants often swim directly toward stationary boats out of curiosity.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Chobe National Park travel guide.
