Chobe National Park sprawls spectacularly across some 4,000 square miles of northern Botswana offering a variety of contrasting safari and wildlife experiences and one of the greatest concentrations of game to be found in Africa; however it is here that the elephant is king!
Chobe is home to over 100,000 of Botswana’s elephant population (the largest in the world). With the Chobe River being the only major source of water in the north of the Okavango during the dry season, game travels here from great distances, ensuring there is also a large lion population. Game viewing peaks at the end of the rainy season, when large numbers of zebra and wildebeest move through the area from the Linyanti to graze on the better grasses in the Mababe Depression. There is a plethora of other wildlife to see here including giraffe, buffalo, tsessebe, and hyena.
The park has a remarkable variety of habitats – floodplains and marshes, woodlands of baobab, mopane and acacia trees, to verdant grasslands and thickets bordering the Chobe River. Flowing along the park’s northern boundaries are the Linyanti and Chobe Rivers, while in the south the Savuti Channel brings life to the Mababe Depression.
