Per-payment figures are the all-in total divided by 3 and rounded. The number of payments and the schedule differ by partner — Happy Pay splits over 2 — and your own plan depends on that partner's approval. You see it in full before you confirm. Fares are the lowest seen for a sample date about six weeks out, not a quote; airline pricing moves constantly.
Best time to fly
Weather, crowds and fares move together in Kasane. These are the trade-offs.
May to October
Dry season. Game concentrates on the river, elephant numbers peak, and conditions are cool and clear.
November to December
Hot, with the first rains breaking and the bush greening.
January to April
Wet season — lush, excellent birding, thicker bush and harder game viewing.
Before you go
Malaria
Chobe is a malaria area, with risk highest in the wet season. Take medical advice on prophylaxis before travelling.
Combining with Victoria Falls
The falls are about 90 minutes away by road across the Zimbabwean border. If you plan this, check the entry requirements for both countries.
River cruises
The late-afternoon Chobe cruise is the signature activity and worth booking with your lodge in advance.
About Kasane
Kasane sits on the Chobe River in Botswana's far north-east, at the point where four countries nearly meet. Chobe National Park has one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, and the river cruises at sunset are the classic way to see them.
It is also the most convenient crossing point for combining Chobe with Victoria Falls, which is about an hour and a half away by road.
Getting in from the airport
Kasane Airport (BBK) is a few kilometres from town and close to the Chobe park gate. Lodges meet flights, and the transfer is usually short. Road transfers to Victoria Falls take around an hour and a half including the border crossing.
Entry requirements for South African passport holders
South African passport holders have historically been able to enter Botswana for tourism without arranging a visa in advance. Confirm the current requirement with the Botswana High Commission or your airline before you travel.
Entry rules change. Confirm the current requirements with the destination's embassy or consulate before you travel — this page is a guide, not an authority.
