The drive from Savuti Marsh to Chobe Riverfront, the northernmost part of the Chobe National Park, takes 3 to 3.5 hours and covers roughly 170 kilometres through deep sand and occasionally muddy roads within the park. You leave Savuti in the morning after breakfast, and head north through the Chobe Forest Reserve, traversing savanna landscapes and diverse ecosystems. This is where the Zambezi and Chobe rivers converge, and you have a good chance of spotting lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras and vast herds of elephants along the way. You will still make it in time for lunch, and enjoy your first Chobe Riverfront safari this afternoon.
