To the north of the swamps the Kwando River makes a
large sweep around the Linyanti swamps in Caprivi
before heading down towards Lake Liambezi, the Chobe
and ultimately the Zambezi River. This is an
enormous wilderness area where large herds of
elephant and buffalo are frequently encountered. The
lions of the Savuti are legend and all major
predators such as leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild
dog are present.
The Chobe National Park is world renowned for its
abundance of elephants which concentrate on the
Chobe River, especially during the dry season. This
reserve forms an ecological entity with Hwange
National Park in Zimbabwe and is home to enormous
populations of elephant and buffalo. All the major
predators and a wide variety of antelope and other
species are present in the park. One of the
attractions of this reserve is the opportunity to
view the wildlife on the banks of the Chobe River
from a boat in the river itself.
