Chobe National Park – 2 night optional Extension
By adding this extension on you allow your selves a total of 3 nights in the Chobe Park
Want to stay longer – ask us!
The Chobe National Park, which is the second largest national park in Botswana and covers 10,566 square kilometres, has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent.
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 northeast. The Savuti Marsh in the west about fifty kilometres north of Mababe gate. The Linyanti Swamps in the north-west and the hot dry hinterland in between.
From Kasane, follow the new tar road past the airport to Sedudu Gate. Here all persons are required to check in and pay the park fees, unless proceeding on the tar road to Ngoma. Four-wheel drive vehicles are essential, especially if the intention is to travel extensively into the park - deep sand in some areas tests the skill of the driver and the capabilities of the vehicle. In 1932, an area of some 24,000 square kilometres in the Chobe district became a non-hunting area and the following year, the protected area increased to 31,600 square kilometres. After some trials and closing and re-opening, finally in 1967, the reserve was declared a national park - the first national park in Botswana. A major feature of Chobe National Park is its elephant population. The Chobe elephant comprise part of what is probably the largest surviving continuous elephant population. This population covers most of northern Botswana plus northwestern Zimbabwe. The Botswana's elephant population currently sits at approximately around 120,000.
