Encompassing an impressive 10,700km of wilderness the Chobe National Park stretches from the tip of Northern Botswana to the fringes of the Okavango Delta.

Varied landscapes

It has a wide range of distinctive landscapes: the emerald floodplains of the Chobe River, the sweeping grasslands of the Savuti Marsh and skeletal leadwood trees in the Savuti Channel. With such varied environments and habitats there’s a magnificent array of wildlife.

A profusion of palatable grass species attracts a variety of herbivores including wildebeest, impala, kudu, waterbuck, giraffe and tsessebe. The puku is found as is the endemic Chobe bushbuck. Predator sightings are good with leopard, cheetah, wild dog and prides of lion large enough to hunt elephant.

Chobe's elephant and buffalo populations

All that said, Chobe is most famous for its elephant and buffalo populations that collect in herds of mammoth proportions. With an estimated population of 40,000 to 60,000 elephant these gentle giants are constant companions. In the dry season the Chobe River sees thousands lining the banks and crossing the water. Boat trips at this time provide excellent photographic opportunities.
