NATIONAL PARK INFORMATION:

Chobe is unique with its abundance of wildlife and the true African nature, offering a safari experience of a lifetime. Known as the domain of the African elephant, it is divided into four distinctly different eco systems: Serondela with its lush plains and dense forests in the Chobe River area in the extreme north-east; the Savuti Marsh in the west; the Linyanti Swamps in the north-west and the hot dry hinterland in between. The Chobe National Park, which is the second largest national park in Botswana, has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent.

Observed best on maps, the Mababe Depression lies at the heart of Chobe District and stands as a symbol of so many things that are unusual, exciting and interesting in the District. It covers a wide variety of country: rivine forest, flood-plain, periodic marsh, mopane and miombo woodland and a few rocky outcrops. Although the National Park is open to visitors all the year round, travelling can be difficult during the rainy season

A wide variety of wildlife is found in the Chobe Park, ranging from water animal such as hippopotamus, crocodile, otter and fish to forest and dry-land species such as elephant (large herds), buffalo, giraffe, zebra and eland. In all areas predators abound, including lion, cheetah, leopard and both species of hyena. The Savuti area has particularly strong populations of predators and annual the zebra migration provides excellent photographic opportunities. Over 450 bird species have been documented in the National Park.
