Chobe National Park 

Located in northern Botswana, Chobe National Park is world-renowned for having the largest concentration of elephants on Earth — over 120,000 roam its plains, woodlands, and riverbanks. The lifeline of the park is the Chobe River, which forms the northern boundary and offers some of the most breathtaking boat-based game viewing in Africa.

Chobe is a haven not just for elephants, but for buffalo herds, lions, leopards, and an astonishing variety of birds — especially during the wet season. Its easy access from Victoria Falls, combined with excellent safari infrastructure, makes Chobe a perfect starting or ending point for many Botswana safaris.
