---

Chobe National Park, located near Kasane in northern Botswana, is the country’s first national park and one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich protected areas. Covering about 11,700 square kilometers, it is famous for its diverse habitats, including riverfronts, floodplains, woodlands, and savannas. The park is best known for having one of the world’s largest concentrations of African elephants, with huge herds gathering along the Chobe River, especially during the dry season. It is also home to lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species. A major safari destination, Chobe National Park offers exceptional wildlife viewing by both vehicle and boat. Its proximity to Victoria Falls and its role within the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area make it one of southern Africa’s most important conservation and tourism landmarks.
