An open-sided marquee-style tent forms the main area of Chobe Under Canvas. Delicious meals are enjoyed here as a group, sat around a long, lantern-lit table. There is also a small ‘bar’ table holding a selection of drinks, a small reference library and a selection of board games.

Activities include game drives and boat trips along the Chobe River, led by professional and very knowledgeable guides. Typically, guests will enjoy a game drive on their first afternoon and the following morning, with a boat trip often arranged for the second afternoon. The wildlife in this area is plentiful and very relaxed, making for some fantastic viewing opportunities throughout the year. But as the natural pools of water formed in the park during the summer months dry up, and the wildlife becomes more dependent on the permanent waters of the Chobe River during the dry season (between about June and October), the game densities along the riverfront noticeably increase – making both game drives and boat trips on the river particularly rewarding. No matter the time of year, however, birders will enjoy the boat cruises as there is a great variety of species to be seen, from fish eagles to goliath herons and white-fronted bee-eaters to giant kingfishers.
