Chobe National Park

Home to the greatest concentrations of elephants on the African continent Chobe National Park is a place of many parts with the best known area being the riverfront. It is here where the great herds concentrate during the dry season.

Once ranging across vast areas of southern Africa the elephants were slaughtered in their thousands by armies during the war of independence in neighbouring Namibia. Because of this the herds stopped moving across the river and the legend of Chobe was born.

Chobe’s vast floodplains draw buffalo and numerous antelope species and with all these the predators. The river also provides a unique opportunity to view wildlife from a different angle – from the water.

Although Chobe is the area of highest tourist density in Botswana this does not detract from the quality of the game experience.
