Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is in northern Botswana near the vast, inland Okavango Delta. It's known for its large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo, which converge along the Chobe River front in the dry months. Lions, antelopes and hippos inhabit the woods and lagoons around Linyanti Marsh. The floodable grasslands of the Savuti Marsh attract numerous bird species, plus migrating zebras.

Visitors to the park can take boat trips along the river to see the wildlife, or go on guided drives or walks in the surrounding bush.

In addition to its wildlife, the Chobe National Park is also known for its beautiful landscapes, which range from savanna grasslands to mopane woodlands and riverine forests. The park covers an area of approximately 11,700 square kilometers and is home to a wide variety of bird species, making it a popular destination for bird watchers.

Visitors can stay in lodges or campsites within the park, or in nearby towns and villages.
