Established in 1967 and covering 10,600km (4030 sq miles), this vast northern park, which is named after the Chobe River, is the second biggest national park in Botswana and is home to the greatest concentration of game in the southern African subcontinent. The park has four distinct areas: the Chobe River frontage including Serondela; the central area around Nogatsaa and the associated pans, which attract great concentrations of wildlife long into the dry season; Linyati with its riverine marshes and papyrus beds; and the Savuti area which includes the Mababe Depression.
