About Kasane for Solo Travelers
Elephant capital of the world — solo travelers watch hundreds of elephants come to the Chobe River at sunset from boats shared with wildlife lovers from every corner of the earth.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Kasane is the base for Chobe National Park — which has the highest concentration of elephants on earth. Boat cruises on the Chobe River (shared with other travelers) are the best wildlife experience and extremely solo-friendly. The town is small and very safe. Also a perfect jumping-off point for Victoria Falls (45 mins away in Zimbabwe/Zambia).
