Siyeza Safari’s Chobe National Park Highlights

Explore Botswana’s iconic Chobe National Park, a premier wildlife destination that includes the awe-inspiring Savute Channel and the serene Linyanti River. Covering almost 11,000 km² (6,836 square miles), Chobe is renowned for being Botswana’s first national park and remains one of the most biodiverse and wildlife-rich areas in Africa, with the highest concentration of elephants in the world.

A vital lifeline in the park’s dry regions, the Chobe River serves as an oasis for the park’s diverse wildlife. Each afternoon, you’ll witness dramatic scenes as herds of elephants gather at the riverbanks to drink, bathe, and play, with herds ranging from a few individuals to massive groups of hundreds. This spectacle offers one of the most memorable and sought-after wildlife encounters in Africa.

Inland from the river, the park features a unique semi-arid habitat, while lush vegetation thrives around the river’s edge, providing a striking contrast. The area is a haven for sable antelope, which are commonly seen descending to the river to drink, only to vanish back into the drier regions. Special sightings include the endangered puku antelope, which can only be spotted along the Chobe River and in pockets of the Linyanti Swamps. Other remarkable wildlife include roan antelope, giraffe, kudu, bushbuck, waterbuck, zebra, wildebeest, and warthog.

The Chobe Riverfront is also home to large herds of buffalo, who frequently cross the river or graze on the islands, providing excellent opportunities for close-up sightings. The park’s rich predator population includes lions, leopards, and the occasional African wild dog, adding to the excitement of your safari experience.
