Chobe National Park
Overview
Home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa and approximately 120,000 Kalahari elephants reside here, making Chobe National Park one of Africa’s leading and renowned wildlife destinations. The Chobe River forms the park’s northern boundary, which includes four distinct geographical areas: the Chobe Riverfront: The Ngwezumba pans; Savuté; and Linyanti. The famous Chobe River, which forms the Park’s northern boundary, provides a permanent source of water for the region’s largest animal populations-the focal point for safari enthusiasts from around the world.
The diverse ecosystems in the park play a vital role in hosting a wide variety of animals. With over 90 species, Chobe National Park offers some of the most spectacular game viewing in Africa that include large herds of elephants, buffalo and zebra, prides of lion, leopard, giraffe, kudu and the elusive wild dog are just a few of the species that can be witness while on safari in Chobe.
The ability of witnessing this remarkable wildlife parade from the small, manoeuvrable safari boat equipped with deck chairs and sundowner drinks is what sets a safari to Chobe apart across Botswana. Whether arriving by air or road, it appears as a swathe of bright, blue ribbon, winding its way through the tiny town of Kasane and out into the Chobe National Park’s wilderness. One of Africa’s most beautiful rivers that supports a diversity and concentration of wildlife unmatched to another destination around and within Botswana.
Why specially visit Chobe National Park. Unlike any other water-based activity in Botswana, the game viewing while on a river safari using the solar powered safari boats is unsurpassed and stunningly unavoidable.
