Chobe

Highlights

Chobe National Park, with its northern town of Kasane, is an ideal base from which to see the world's largest waterfalls, Victoria Falls, on the border with Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Chobe itself is one of Africa's magical rivers and the best way to explore the park is by boat.

Landscape

The main habitat of the Chobe is the Savannah.

The vegetation of the park consists mainly of tree and bush savannahs, with typical riparian vegetation extending along the Chobe River. Not only lush gallery forest and grass savannah, but also dry mopane forest and flat Kalahari sandveld (dry, sandy soil) stretches through the park. Another Chobe landmark is the Savuti Swamp. Mostly dry, the vegetation is comparable to the Serengeti plains.
