The Chobe National Park is best known for the high concentration of elephant population, with over 50,000 it is the largest elephant concentration in Africa.
The elephants are formed of the species called Kalahari Elephants. These elephants are characterised by there larger than average size but comparatively weak tusks.
Dry season game viewing concentrates on Savute's resident bull elephants as well as antelope and lion prides around half-empty pans and permanent water-holes. Black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, kudu, impala and ostrich abound.
The summer rains bring a feast for lion, hyena and cheetah as thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest assemble in a chaotic pattern on the Savute marsh. Cape buffalo herds arrive and migrant birds swell Savute's 300 resident species, thrilling bird-watchers with their spectacular antics.
Carmine bee-eaters perch on the back of kori bustards and red-crested korhaans plummet from the sky in daring aerobatic mating displays.
