Chobe National Park

Destination Overview

Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana, is renowned for having one of the largest concentrations of elephants in Africa. The Chobe River, which forms the park’s northern boundary, is a major draw, especially during the dry season, as vast herds of elephants and other wildlife gather along its banks. Boat safaris on the Chobe River offer unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for hippos, crocodiles, and a spectacular array of water birds, alongside land-based game drives. The park’s diverse ecosystems also support lions, leopards, wild dogs, and a variety of antelope species.
