Location: Chobe National Park, the second largest park in Botswana, covers 10,566 square km. It extends from the Linyanti and Chobe rivers in the north, down to Moremi Game Reserve in the south.

This massive park has one of the greatest concentrations of game on the African continent, including what is regarded as the world's largest surviving elephant population.

A highlight of any safari to Chobe is definitely a sunset cruise down the Chobe River, watching huge herds of elephants and other game congregate along the water's edge as the setting sun bathes the river and surrounding bush in a luminous, golden glow.
