Set within the variable environment of the Okavango Delta, on its edge, the Chobe National Park is famous for its elephants which number around 50,000 and providing a once in a life time spectacle. With central safari lodges providing the perfect base for viewing the expansive wildlife found in the area, exploring the lush tropical Linyanti swamps and venturing into neighbouring Zambia to marvel at the majesty of Victoria Falls, the Chobe truly amazes.
The Chobe National Park was Botswana’s first and most diverse national park, made up of four distinct areas and ecosystems. The Chobe River forms the northeast boundary of the park, it is a major watering point for herds of elephants, many giraffes, cape buffalo and birds can be seen.
To the northwest is the Linyanti marsh and river area with woodlands and lagoons forming natural habitats for lions, leopards, hippopotamuses and a host of birdlife. The Savuti marsh area makes up the western aspect of the park made up of extensive savanna, marshlands and rolling grasses, it is here that you can find rhinos, impala, zebras and Southern African cheetahs if you are lucky. The dry Hinterland sits between the marshes of the Linyanti and Savuti less popular and well-known displaying an environment more typically found in the Kalahari.
