Chobe National Park
The Chobe National Park, which is the second largest national park in Botswana and covers 10,566 square kilometres, it has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent, particularly elephant. The park is divided into four distinctly different eco systems:
Serondela with its lush plains and dense forests in the Chobe River area in the extreme north-east;
the Savuti Marsh in the west;
the Linyanti Swamps in the north-west
the hot dry hinterland in between.
Savuti boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife left on the African continent. Animals are present during all seasons, and at certain times of the year their numbers can be staggering. Sauvuti is particularly famous for its resident Lion and spotted hyena populations.
