Chobe River & Savuti

Where Giants Roam

Chobe National Park is famous for hosting Africa’s largest elephant population — more than 100,000.

Along the riverfront, elephants often gather and cross the waters in dramatic fashion, especially at sunset. South of the river lies Savuti, where lions, hyenas, and leopards roam the open plains in fierce competition.
