Personalised Experience
Whether you’re a guest on the Zambezi Queen or one of the three Chobe Princesses, you’ll have access to a knowledgeable guide and tender boat, ensuring a rewarding birding experience.
With over 450 species, diverse terrains and a stunning African backdrop, the Chobe River offers the perfect setting for a highly rewarding bird-watching safari. Birding season begins in September when the arrival of migratory birds boosts the population by up to 20% compared to the winter months.
The prime time for birding is early morning before breakfast, as various species leave their roosts and venture into the Chobe National Park to begin their day. Throughout your birding safari, you’ll spot a wide array of birds, such as African skimmers, rock pratincoles, African finfoots, cattle egrets, fish eagles, open-billed storks, lesser-striped swallows, pied kingfishers and the striking Southern carmine bee-eater.
