Excellent wildlife viewing, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog, huge population of migrating elephant

Botswana public reserve

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is made up of contrasting landscapes which combine to provide one of Africa's most rewarding game experiences. The park is known for an elephant population that exceeds 100,000. Dry season water needs see their annual migration from rich grassland in the south to the river far to the north.

To the south, Savute Marsh boasts some of the best game viewing in Africa whether concentrated around dry season water resources or boosted with plains game drawn by fresh pasture when the rains come.

Linyanti is a more remote swampy area of private concessions bordering the river in the north. Dry season sees herds of elephant and buffalo and lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog. Serondela borders the Chobe River area with lush plains and dense forests which were previously used to supply the timber industry.

Original inhabitants were Basarwa San people who lived a nomadic hunter-gatherer life. They are remembered in a number of rock art sites.
