Things to see in Botswana: Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park borders the upper reaches and islands of the mighty Zambezi River where four countries meet at the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi rivers. The area is a unique mosaic of bush, waterways, floodplains and woodland offering exceptional wildlife viewing. It is home to the largest concentration of elephant in Africa and huge herds of buffalo which congregate in the dry season along the fertile flood plains of the Chobe River. Other major species include lion, wild dog, puku, red lechwe, sable and roan antelope, and huge numbers of hippos. There are over 450 bird species recorded here too.
