Covering a huge swathe of northern Botswana, Chobe National Park boasts the highest concentration of elephants in the world. Large herds of these majestic creatures can be seen marching through the savannah and crossing the Chobe River towards the river islands. Chobe National Park is also renowned for its vast variety of other fascinating wildlife such as lions, hippos and buffaloes.
The landscape of this remarkable region ranges from open grasslands to deep swamps and thick forest to wildlife dense waterways and water holes. Enjoy game drives and river safaris in the easily accessible Chobe Riverfront area or spot lions, leopards and wild dogs in Savuti. The remote and less visited Linyanti marshes also offers exceptional wildlife viewing and bird watching.
Chobe National Park can be accessed from Kasane in Botswana or alternatively from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Livingstone in Zambia. Combine the stunning natural wonder of Victoria Falls with the wildlife rich Chobe National Park for a spectacular African adventure.
