Chobe and Linyanti

Discover Chobe National Park, Botswana

Located in northern Botswana, Chobe National Park and the Linyanti region form one of Africa’s most exceptional safari destinations. Known for vast elephant herds, predator-rich landscapes, riverfront wildlife viewing, and exclusive safari lodges, Chobe and Linyanti Botswana offer unforgettable luxury safari experiences throughout the year.

Furthermore, the region combines dramatic ecological diversity with outstanding game viewing, making it one of the highlights of any luxury Botswana safari.

Chobe National Park spans approximately 11,000 square kilometres and is Botswana’s second-largest national park. The Chobe River forms the northern boundary between Botswana and Namibia and supports one of the highest wildlife concentrations on the African continent.

The park is internationally famous for its massive elephant population, with herds numbering in the hundreds regularly seen along the riverbanks.

In addition, Chobe National Park Botswana is divided into four distinct ecological regions, each offering a unique safari experience.

Chobe Riverfront

The Serondela region, commonly known as the Chobe Riverfront, features lush floodplains and riverine forests that attract elephants, buffalo, hippos, and abundant birdlife throughout the year.

Because of its proximity to Victoria Falls, this area is one of Botswana’s most accessible safari regions.

Savuti Region

The Savuti region is famous for dramatic predator interactions, open grasslands, and the unpredictable Savuti Channel. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and elephants are frequently seen throughout this remarkable landscape.

Furthermore, Savuti has been featured in numerous wildlife documentaries due to its exceptional predator behaviour and seasonal wildlife movements.

Linyanti Swamps

The Linyanti region offers a more remote and exclusive safari experience with riverine forests, marshes, floodplains, and private wildlife concessions.

The Linyanti Swamps attract large elephant and buffalo herds during the dry season. In addition, the region is highly regarded for leopard, lion, wild dog, and cheetah sightings.

Nogatsaa and Tchinga

The remote Nogatsaa and Tchinga region offers a more rugged wilderness experience with seasonal waterholes and excellent game viewing during the dry months.

This area is especially rewarding for travelers seeking quieter safari experiences away from more heavily visited regions.

Wildlife in Chobe and Linyanti Botswana

Wildlife viewing in Chobe and Linyanti Botswana is exceptional throughout the year. Massive elephant herds dominate the landscape alongside buffalo, zebra, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest, and impala.

Furthermore, predator sightings are among the best in Botswana. Lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, cheetahs, and African wild dogs are regularly encountered across the region.

The area also supports rarer antelope species including sable, roan, puku, tsessebe, red lechwe, eland, and waterbuck.

For birdwatchers, Chobe and Linyanti Botswana offer outstanding birding opportunities along rivers, marshes, and floodplains.
