Chobe - An Elephant Haven

A wildlife enthusiast's dream, Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world. From the striking Savute area to the beautiful Linyanti River, it is a vast landscape waiting to be explored.

Chobe covers almost 11 000 km² (4 250 square miles) and was Botswana’s first national park. It boasts some of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, but is best known for its large herds of Kalahari elephants, said to be the largest elephant population in the world (approximately 120 000). These impressive herds can be witnessed from the relaxing vantage point of a boat, floating down the Chobe River, or on an interpretive game drive.
