The Chobe National Park

Located in the northwest of Botswana and close to the Zambian, Zimbabwean and Namibian borders lies the Chobe National Park covering 10,566 square kilometres. This park is well known for its abundance of wildlife, which is said to be one of the greatest concentrations within Africa. Chobe National Park exhibits extreme contrasts and is split into four diverse areas of differing geological features and flora.

There is the lush floodplain of the Chobe River, the hot and parched landscape of the Savuti, the almost tropical Linyathi Swamps to the Serondela, which boasts dense forests and lush plains. The primary attraction of the Park is the large elephant population, which is the single largest surviving population of African elephants in the world, some 120,000 of them. These elephants are distinct in that they are known to have the largest body size of any living elephants although they have short and brittle tusks.
