Going on safari is the highlight of most visits to the continent of Africa. But there is one national park which stands out from the rest for elephant lovers. That is Chobe National Park found in the Southern African nation of Botswana.
What makes it unique is the sheer amount of elephants residing within the park itself. Not only are there herds of elephants everywhere you look, but there are giraffes meandering along, water buffalo grazing, crocodiles looking to catch their next meal, and hippos paddling around.
There are a variety of tours available, and safari packages to choose from. To maximize your time here, you should select a tour with a cruise in the morning and a game drive in the afternoon. If you have more than a day, make sure to spend a night in the park itself. Rangers will teach you how to look for animal tracks and you will be able to see the lions when they wake-up in the evening.
Day tours from neighboring Zambia and Zimbabwe are possible, along with longer safaris for those wanting to see all of the wildlife that Chobe has to offer. Conservation is key and all tours include a service charge to preserve the park and to protect the wildlife from poachers.
