SAFARI
TRAVEL: CHOBE
NATIONAL PARK - INCLUDING LINYANTI AND SAVUTE
Chobe
- an area of dense thorn bush, is famous for massive herds
of elephant and buffalo and significant prides of lion
which are skilled at hunting large herbivores.
Highlight of a safari to Chobe are the animal migrations,
where the herds move with the available food and water
in the district, exhibiting the ancient patterns of time.
Bordering the Chobe River, in the far north of the park,
this area is famed for its dense game. The lion are common
and laid-back, the antelope abundant, and the herds of
buffalo and elephant among the biggest anywhere. The birdlife
is also exceptional, from omnipresent fish eagles to a
multitude of herons and waders. The amazing fishing expertise
of the rare African skimmer is just one feature of the
Chobe River, along with some well-built hippos and crocodiles.
The Savute and Linyanti regions are the prime wildlife
destinations in the northern regions.
