About this place
Chobe holds an estimated 120,000 elephant — the densest concentration on the continent. The Chobe river frontage in the north of the park is the focal point: herds come to drink at sunset, hippos pile up in the shallows, and crocodiles patrol the shore. The most popular Chobe trip is actually a day-trip from Victoria Falls via Kasane.
