Chobe National Park, Botswana

Perched on the northern edge of Botswana is its third largest park: Chobe National Park, spread over 11,700 square kilometers. Chobe is known as the "Land of Giants" thanks to its enormous elephant population, the largest in Africa. It is named after the meandering Chobe river which traverses a mixed terrain of floodplains, woodlands, and marshland. Aside from elephants, predator sightings, especially that of lions, continue to delight visitors. It is also home to a large number of bird species, including waders, skimmers and other water birds, creating an ideal landscape for photographers. A boat safari along the Chobe river is highly recommended.

Chobe has 4 distinct terrains and your experience will depend on which part of the park you visit. Due to it's proximity to Kasane and Victoria Falls, the park receives many day tourists. This heavy footfall can take away from your safari if you are looking for a true wilderness experience.
