Chobe National Park is Botswana’s first national park, and also the most biologically diverse. Located in the north of the country, it is Botswana’s third largest park and has one of the greatest concentrations of game in all of Africa. Chobe is noted for having a population of lions that prey on elephants, mostly calves or juveniles, but also subadults. Wildlife roams the Chobe area mostly undisturbed and game drives bring sightings galore of majestic animals like elephants, lions, buffalo, a variety of plains game and countless bird species.
