Another option is to fly into Livingstone, Zambia or Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and then take a road transfer to Kasane. The park can also be accessed via self-drive or guided tours from nearby towns such as Maun, Gaborone, and Francistown.
If driving, it's important to have a 4x4 vehicle as the park's roads can be rough, especially during the rainy season (November to April).

The best time to visit Chobe National Park is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the weather is cooler, and the wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot them on safari. The park is also less green, making it easier to see animals in the distance. From November to April, the rainy season, the park can become quite muddy, and the vegetation is lush. However, this time can be a great time for bird watching and seeing newborn animals.
