Chobe National Park: In Celebration of Botswana's Wild Places

Chobe National Park: Celebrating Botswana's Wild Places

Chobe National Park is a big name safari destination in Botswana, attracting hundreds of thousands of people every year. Dubbed “The Land of the Giants”, there are said to be more elephants in Chobe than anywhere else in Africa. As part of KAZA, wildlife roams within a staggeringly large wild conservation area, stretching across Southern Africa.

The Chobe Riverfront or Serondela area in the north-east is busy with game – especially in the dry season. This makes wildlife (and the people who want to see it) descend on the permanent water source in this area. The Chobe River skirts definition – predominantly a backwater of the Zambezi, an overflow of the Linyanti and Lake Liambezi, a river that runs two ways with the seasons. From its source in the Angolan highlands, it changes from the Cuando, Kwando, it disappears in the Linyanti to become the Chobe River at Ngoma and Kasane – a different passport photo for every nation.
