Chobe National Park (Botswana) | Hype Explore
El Parque Nacional Chobe, en Botswana, es de los mejores parques para ver fauna africana, muy especialmente elefantes, ya que aquí se localiza una de las mayores poblaciones de toda África, con una población estimada de entre los 70.000 y los 120.000 individuos, El Parque toma su nombre del río que delimita su frontera norte, y que ejerce también de frontera entre Botswana y Namibia en esta parte del país. Está situado al norte del país, y a tan solo 60 kilómetros de Cataratas Victoria, y tiene una extensión aproximada de 11.000 km² protegidos desde el año 1968 en que se proclamó Parque Nacional, lo que le convierte en la tercera reserva más grande del país.
A pesar de ser famoso por sus grandes manadas de elefantes, también aquí se dan cita licaones, leones, leopardos, guepardos, hienas, cebras, hipopótamos y jirafas, entre otras muchas otras especies, incluidas las más de 450 especies de aves que pueden llegarse a ver, y el rinoceronte blanco, gracias a un programa de cría que se realiza en la vecina Reserva de Moremi. … en definitiva, un verdadero paraíso con una extraordinaria diversidad biológica.
El Parque suele dividirse en 4 ecosistemas diferentes, aunque la razón de esta división corresponde a que son las 4 áreas diferenciales más interesantes para la visita del Parque Nacional de Chobe y cada una de ellas cuenta con una vegetación y una fauna diferenciadas.
Estos 4 ecosistemas son: el área de Serondela o la zona frente al río Chobe, el área de Savuti o Savute, la zona pantanosa de Linyanti y las cuencas de Ngwezumba.
Para descubrir el Parque Nacional de Chobe es imprescindible realizar un Safari crucero por el río Chobe, y otro en todoterreno por el interior del Parque Nacional, ya que ambos Safaris son un verdadero espectáculo de la naturaleza.

Chobe National Park, situated at the Northwest of Botswana, is one of the largest games concentration in all the Africa continent and one of the world's last remaining sizeable wilderness area. By size, this is the third largest park of the country, after the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Gemsbok National Park, but definitively the most diverse and spectacular. This is also the country's first national park.
The park can be divided up to 4 areas, corresponding each to one distinct ecosystems:
▪ The Serondela area (or Chobe riverfront), situated in the extreme Northeast of the park, has as main geographical features lush plains and dense teak forests. The Chobe River, which flows along the Northeastern border of the park, is a drinking spot for elephants and buffaloes at dry season. The famous bee-eater is also spotted here, along the river. This is probably the most visited park section, partly because of its proximity to the Victoria Falls. The town of Kasane, situated at the river, is the most important town of the region and serves as northern entrance to the park.
▪ The Savuti Marsh area, 10 878 km² large, constitutes the western stretch of the park (50 km north of Mababe Gate). The Savuti Marsh is the relic of a large inland lake whose water supply was cut a long time ago by tectonic movements. Nowadays the marsh is fed by the erratic Savuti Channel, which dries up when rainfall is abundant and floods up at other times. The channel can also stop flowing during long periods then curiously flows again, a consequence of tectonic activity in the area. As a result of this variable flow, there are hundred of dead trees along the channel's bank. The region is also covered with extensive savannahs and rolling grasslands, which makes wildlife particularly dynamic in this section of the park. At dry seasons, tourists going on safari often view warthogs, kudus, impalas, zebras, wildebeests and above all elephants bullying each other. At rain seasons, the rich birdlife of the park (450 species in the whole park) is well represented. Packs of lions, hyenas, zebras or more rarely cheetahs are visible as well. This region is indeed reputed for its annual migration of zebras and predators.
▪ The Linyanti Marsh, located at the Northwest corner of the park and to the North of Savuti, is adjacent to Linyanti River. To the west of this area lies Selinda Reserve and on the Northern bank of Kwando River is Namibia's Mamili National Park. Around these 2 rivers are riverine woodlands, open woodlands as well as lagoons, and the rest of the region mainly consists of flood plains. There are here large concentrations of lions, leopards, wild dogs, Roan antelopes, Sable antelopes, hippopotamuses and above all enormous herds of elephants. The rarer red lechwe, sitatunga or crocodile also occur in the area. Birdlife is very rich here.
▪ Finally, between Linyanti and Savuti Marshes lies a hot and dry hinterland, mainly occupied by the Nogatsaa grass woodland. This section is little known and is a great place for spotting elands.
The park is probably best known for its spectacular elephant population: 120'000 elephants today, it is actually the highest elephant concentration of Africa. Moreover, most of them are probably part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population on Earth. The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from the few initial thousands. By chance, they have not been affected by the massive illicit exploitation of the 1970's and 1980's. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant species. Yet they are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks.
Damage caused by the high numbers of elephants is rife in some areas. In fact[1], concentration is so high throughout Chobe that culls have been considered, but are too controversial and have thus far been rejected.
At dry season, these elephants sojourn in Chobe River and the Linyanti River areas. At rain season, they make a 200-km migration to the Southeast stretch of the park. Their distribution zone however outreaches the park and spreads to northwestern Zimbabwe. (wikipedia)

Elephant vs Buffalo at Serondella Lodge Kruger National Park
Elephants don't share water, I guess. The herd of buffalo was having a drink of water behind my cabin at Serondela Lodge, Thornybush Private Game Lodge at Kruger National Park in South Africa when two elephants walked up. When the buffalo kept drinking, one elephant went to extremes to make its point.
Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park, in northern Botswana, has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa. By size, it is the third largest park in the country, after the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Gemsbok National Park, and is the most biologically diverse. It is also Botswana's first national park.

Warning viiolent scenes:
Leaving our last campsite, Serondela, for the safari was sad to say good-bye to the camp crew. The morning started as a normal things to see early when a lion was called in on the radio with some cubs. Checking it out soon turned into a day I will never forget as we were in the middle of a hunting party of 2 lioness after a bush buck. And so the circle of life goes on. Down the road from this I saw a Tawny eagle sitting proud in a tree branch and the Cape Skink caught our guide's eye for all of us to enjoy. A tribe of baboons were also fun to watch as they forage for roots and played. There were plenty of zebras and elephants along the river and a surprise was getting some pics of a Puku.
