The Chobe National Park is one of Botswana's most popular destinations and has a uniqueness to it that only those that have been can explain. The elephant populations are abundant and the river front is littered with herds of Buffalo, Sable, Lion and the occasional group of elusive Roan antelope. The Puku, an antelope that crosses the boundary between Impala and Red Lechwe, finds its southernmost distribution here and is the only place to see them in Botswana.

The Chobe is also a wonderful place to explore by boat, and for the keen ornithologist, species that may have not been picked up elsewhere, can be seen here, such as the African Skimmer. As the dry season pushes into full flow, animals can be seen by the thousand, lining the banks for a desperate drink of thirst-quenching water, ever wary of the beady and calculating eyes of the huge Nile crocodiles found just out of sight, ready to strike at the first opportunity. For a wildlife and water experience, Chobe has it all; however travellers should be aware of its popularity and lack of exclusivity.
