Het Chobe Nationaal Park heeft de hoogste concentratie olifanten in Afrika – naar schatting 130.000 individuen die zich tijdens het droge seizoen in kuddes van honderden verzamelen langs de Chobe-rivier. Het observeren van wild vanuit een boot op de rivier is spectaculair. Het Savuti-moeras in het zuiden van Chobe biedt het hele jaar door de mogelijkheid om roofdieren te zien, waaronder grote leeuwenroedels en een van de meest betrouwbare leefgebieden voor wilde honden in Afrika.
