Chobe Savuti and Linyanti
Botswana’s second largest game reserve, Chobe National Park covers about 11,000 sq. km - give or take a small country.
Marking the north-east territory bordering on Zimbabwe and Namibia, the park has four distinct ecosystems and each makes for some pretty titillating game viewing.
The Serondela region along the Chobe River is lush and densely wooded making it prime elephant country – and here you’ll find more of these gentle giants than anywhere else in the world.
Southwards, the park turns into endless plains of bleach-blond grasslands and thickets of mopane trees. This region cares little for your personal comfort and even less for the herds of eland and other large antelope that seek refuge from the predator-infested Savuti.
To the west lies the Mababe Depression – another hot and dusty expanse of African wilderness. Here, the marshlands that mark the end of the Savuti’s whimsical impression of a river are responsible for some of the best game viewing in Africa. Lion and hyena – the original Montagues and Capulets of the wild – are in perpetual battle for the spoils that only a waterhole in a semi-arid thirstland could produce.
For the less bloodthirsty, the birdlife is spectacular in the flood plains and swamps of the Linyanti River in the north-west with somewhere in the region of 460 species on the menu. The woodland and riverine forests attract plenty of elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and antelope - including the rare and beautiful roan - and its fair share of carnivores.
