The Chobe River in Botswana is famous for its huge elephant population, estimated at around 120,000 animals. During the dry season, these animals migrate to the river in large groups to drink and play, wading through the water using their trunks as snorkels. The Chobe River offers a spectacular sight for safari-goers, especially during boat trips, where elephants, buffalo, hippos and crocodiles can be seen together.
Why the Chobe River?
Large numbers of elephants: Chobe National Park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the world, which depend on the Chobe River for their drinking and cooling, especially during the dry months.
Wetland ecosystem: The river provides rich biodiversity, attracting large herds of buffalo, zebra, hippo, crocodile and many bird species in addition to elephants.
Migration: Elephants are migrants between the Chobe River and the drier salt pans, making the riverbanks a gathering point.
