Information about Chobe National Park

In the northernmost tip of Botswana lies one of the largest national parks in Botswana: Chobe National Park. Chobe is best known for the countless elephants that live here, thanks to the fertile soil, the abundant water and the vast land. The Chobe River flows along the national park, and a boat trip on the river at sunset is magical. Many animals come to drink on the banks of the river: zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests and hippos live in abundance around the river.

Interesting facts about Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is divided into four different areas, each with distinctly unique geographical landscapes. They are as follows; the Savuti channel, Linyati wetlands, Serondella and Nogatsaa.

Gobabis Hill in Savuti has ancient San rock paintings that are estimated to be about 4 000 years old.

In the 1940’s, Chobe National Park fell under a major tsetse fly infestation. This has a great impact on the decision to declare the area a national park.

Before it was a national park, this area was used as trophy-hunting grounds and as a source of teak wood for the blooming timbre industry (both of which have been outlawed).
