Chobe National Park, National reserve near Kasane, Botswana

The 11,700 square kilometer reserve encompasses the Chobe River, Savuti Marsh, Linyanti Marsh, and Ngwenzumba Pans regions with diverse wildlife populations.

Established in 1968 after being a game reserve since 1960, the park required the relocation of timber industry settlements before achieving complete protection in 1975.

The San people, original inhabitants of this territory, left evidence of their presence through rock paintings found within the elevated areas of the park.

Visitors need four-wheel drive vehicles to navigate the challenging terrain, which alternates between thick sand during dry seasons and muddy paths in wet periods.

The park houses Kalahari elephants, a distinct population with shorter tusks due to calcium-deficient soil conditions in their natural habitat.
