About Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park holds the greatest elephant concentration on earth (some 120,000) and in the dry season they own its riverfront: herds swimming trunk-up between islands, dust-bathing on the banks and drinking shoulder to shoulder at sunset. The Chobe River boat safari, drifting past elephants, buffalo, hippos and sunbathing crocodiles, is one of Africa's essential experiences. Inland, the Savuti marsh stages the park's famous lion-and-elephant drama, while Kasane's location, an hour from Victoria Falls, makes Chobe the natural hinge of any southern Africa circuit.
