Visit Chobe National Park on a trip to Botswana.
Chobe, with an area of 10,566k m2, is the second largest national park in Botswana, behind Moremi.
The Chobe National Park is divided into three areas, Serondela, Savuti and Linyanti mainly named for their rivers in the area. The Chobe River, Savuti and the Linyanti Swamps are perfect places to enjoy a classic African safari. During these safaris, it is possible to see lions, antelopes and wildebeest, among many others. In the river, it is possible to see hippopotamus and huge crocodiles swimming next to the elephants. Another experience would be the boat trips on the river that are quite an adventure! In this area you can find 440 of the 500 species of birds known in Botswana, including the violet-breasted carraca, the national bird.
All major species including giraffe, elephant, zebra, impala, tsessebe, ruano antelope, marta, ñu, kudu, buffalo, water cobo, eland antelope, lion, hyena, jackal and sometimes even Chita and African wild dog, inhabit the Savuti area. Savuti is known for its predators, especially the populations of stained lions and hyenas, whose nocturnal struggles for dominance were captured in the excellent documentary “Eternal Enemies”. Savati is considered the Africa of the authentic safari, basically by the observation of its predators such as lions. Of course the other areas also have animals in abundance, but for the purists Savuti is the preferred destination, although on the contrary, it has very few possibilities of quality accommodation.
The dry winter months are magnificent to observe animals, as it is when large herds of elephants, buffaloes and zebras gather next to the river and gather together with giraffes and antelopes. It is a spectacular place for the sighting of waterfowl, such as pelicans.
Kasane, located in the northeast corner of Botswana, is the gateway to Chobe National Park. This small town is the meeting point of four countries, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia and is located at the confluence of the Kwando and Zambezi rivers, coming from Zambia. Kasane has an international airport and several luxury safari accommodations. Kasane is the starting point for exciting terrestrial and water safaris. Victoria Falls
(Zimbabwe) are only 70 km from Kasane!
