The Best Places to Travel in March

"Picture it: Seasonal floodwaters rolling into parched sands and transforming them into a delicate tracery of glittering rivers and channels—the dry plains once again dripping with new life. That's the scene that greets you at the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the world's largest inland river delta. It plays host to a wide variety of wildlife, thriving across great swathes of the land held by the Moremi Game Reserve. You may encounter safari lions, leopards, giraffes, and rhinos; and when the floodwaters quench the land, you'll paddle in canoes past hippos, elephants, and crocodiles. In the summer (that's January and February in Botswana, given it's the southern hemisphere), rainfall from the Angola highlands is drained by the Okavango River into the delta, where the water levels will rise and fall over the next four months, from March through June, making this month the best time to see the transformation happen before your very eyes. Looking for a place to stay? African Bush Camps opened the riverside Khwai Lediba in 2023, and will open Atzaro Okavango in March 2024. The latter will feature 10 lagoon-side suites and offer peak safari-luxe vibes and a strong sense of place through design. (To no surprise, it's one of the Best Places to Go in Africa in 2024.)" - Matt Ortile, Caitlin Morton

We saw many animals. Our driver was also very knowledgeable and was able to answer many of our questions. Our time here happy owned to come at the end of their winter, so I would love to come back to experience the beauty of the land in summer.

Visiting Chobe National Park was one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences of my life. I had the chance to see a lion family feasting on a buffalo – raw, powerful nature at its most real. We also spotted many other lions resting in the shade, dozens of elephants wandering freely, graceful giraffes, and huge hippos basking by the river. There were also crocodiles lurking near the water, and countless beautiful birds – some truly unique and colorful species. What made the experience even more special was the variety: I explored the park both by boat and jeep. Cruising the Chobe River gave me close-up views of hippos, birds, and elephants cooling off in the water, while the jeep safari let us get closer to the big cats and other land animals. The scenery was absolutely stunning – open savannahs, lush riverbanks, and an incredible feeling of being immersed in nature. I highly recommend Chobe to anyone visiting Botswana – it’s a must-see for wildlife lovers.

Although there are no Rhinos in Chobe it was an amazing experience. Doing an early morning and an afternoon drive through the park is a must. Also do a river cruise, we were able to get within touching distance to an elephant.

Visited in August. We visited the river portion of the park and drove from Ngoma Bridge to Kasane. Definitely a good day trip. Saw lots of game, many many giraffes, hippos, monkeys, zebras and a pride of lions. The kudu were a highlight. The only negative for me was the cattle in the background amongst the wild animals, not great for photos. Be careful of monkeys and don’t leave your windows open. Would visit again!

It was my first time safari trail. On the road half day and on the boat another half. It was amazing both ways, and I love those baby elephants sooooooo much! They are all adorable 😍 ❤️ 💕 But on the river part is half amazing and half frightening to me due to the crocodiles 😳 No doubt they are my least favourite and I do not want to meet them close 🫣 All in all, it was a fun experience worth 180 USD that includes shuttle from/to Livingstone, a lunch buffet and snack break 😊😊

An awesome safari experience! The landscape was absolutely beautiful—vast open plains, lush riverbanks, and dramatic skies. We saw so much wildlife, including elephants, hippos, antelope, and countless bird species. The guides were knowledgeable and made the whole trip feel exciting and safe. We explored Chobe National Park, which is famous for having one of the largest concentrations of elephants in Africa. The park stretches along the Chobe River, creating a perfect setting for both land and boat safaris. It’s teeming with wildlife and offers some of the most picturesque scenery in Botswana. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure. I absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the region!

After spending 3 days in Kruger national park, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Chobe was better in every way! Lovely guides, scenery and lots of animals that are easy to spot.

Amazing natural park along the Chobe River. Several camps under canvas are on offer, otherwise a permanent lodge is also available. Best time to visit being from June to August.
