Interesting facts about Boat cruise Chobe River

The Chobe isn’t one single river. She’s actually a massive stretch of the same water system that flows over Victoria Falls on its way to the sea. The Angolan Cuando River upstream, the Kwando river of the Caprivi and the swamps of Linyanti are all also part of the same flow.

The park's original inhabitants are the Barsawa, better known as ‘San Bushmen’. Cave paintings dot the hills, while several Barsawa people remain involved in the running of the park that once housed only their ancestors and nature.

Water is never as guaranteed as you may think: Savuti channel has, in fact, dried up before, in both 1888 and 1957, and it can easily happen again.
