Chobe National Park, Botswana's first national park, is renowned for its extraordinary biological diversity and stands as a major wildlife sanctuary. It is distinguished by its remarkable lion population, known for their rare behavior of preying on elephants, which highlights the park's raw and untamed nature. The park's expansive landscapes, including the lush floodplains of Serondela and the dynamic Savuti Marsh, host the largest herds of African bush elephants and a wealth of other species, such as the Angolan giraffe and puku antelope.
Chobe’s history is enriched by the San bushmen, whose ancient rock paintings offer a glimpse into their nomadic lives. Established as a national park in 1968, Chobe has evolved from its early conservation efforts into a pivotal part of Botswana's protected areas. The park's diverse ecosystems, from the riverine woodlands of Linyanti Marsh to the less-explored Nogatsaa grassland, provide unique wildlife experiences. The park's vast elephant herds, the largest in the world, pose both an environmental challenge and a testament to Chobe's ecological significance. Seasonal variations in terrain, from sandy stretches to muddy roads, add an element of adventure to exploring this remarkable park.
I learned a lot about animals in the park and the game driver taught us a lot🙏🙏

I had to make a separate post for the Chobe River, which is part of the park. So serene, tranquil and beaming with life! A photographer's dream with breathtaking sunsets 👌

What an experience!
Better to come around August/September. During the drought (dry season), more animals are coming closer to the river and you can watch them and take pictures.
Around February, the place is very green and the animals spread more and it's slightly harder to see them.
Impalas, elephants, Hipos and crocodiles are to be seen the whole time.
Get up early to catch all the animals before they get their siesta when the sun comes up...

Chobe is one of the best national parks in Southern Africa. Particularly the Northern stretch, by Chobe River, has an incredible density of animals. If you want to be sure to see elephants, this is the place to be. The North-Eastern part close to Kasane can get very busy with Safari vehicles, but the rest of the park can be enjoyed in almost complete solace.
