2Chobe National Park, Botswana

Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana, is known for its high concentration of elephants—one of the largest populations on the continent. The Chobe River, which flows along the park’s northern boundary, attracts massive herds of elephants, hippos, and buffalo, especially during the dry season. Sunset boat cruises along the Chobe River offer a fantastic way to observe animals drinking and cooling off, while the park’s Savuti area is famous for its lions and hyenas. With a mix of river landscapes and open plains, Chobe is a photographer’s paradise.
