Chobe Savanna Lodge View.jpg

Chobe Region

A national park in northern Botswana was first suggested in 1931. By 1953 there were further initiatives from the government and in 1960 the Chobe Game Reserve was created. The reserve was declared the Chobe National Park in 1967. The park covers 11,700km2 and extends from Kasane through Serondela (the Chobe Riverfront) to Western Chobe, the Ngwezumba pans, Savute and Linyanti.

Western Chobe covers from Ihaha, the mid-point of the National Park, to Ngoma and Muchenje. Western Chobe has no traffic congestion and is untouched wilderness. The lifeblood of the park is the Chobe River, one of Africa’s most beautiful rivers. Western Chobe supports diversity and concentration of wildlife unparalleled anywhere else in the country. The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the park and, with its close proximity to Victoria Falls and the Southern African region, the park is the ideal location for anyone interested in a combination of the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls and magnificent wildlife experience, freely from the park as from Namibia, Zambia and beyond.
