Kasane: Chobe Savanna Lodge - Chobe National Park
Tucked along the Chobe River, Chobe National Park is a place whose character is shaped by a broad floodplain at Botswana’s northern edge. The river forms much of the boundary with Namibia, threading past low islands, open banks and riverine woodland. Established as a national park in 1967, Chobe is particularly associated with its large elephant population and is one of southern Africa’s best-known wildlife areas. Chobe Savanna Lodge stands on the Namibian bank of the river in the Zambezi Region, opposite this riverfront setting. Kasane lies farther east, close to the meeting of the Chobe and Zambezi rivers.

Chobe District stretches from the Chobe River in the north to the drier Kalahari interior in the south, encompassing riverine floodplains, mopane woodland and sandy savanna. Along the Namibian border, the Chobe River supplies a permanent ribbon of water that draws wildlife to its banks; farther south, seasonal channels and broad, dusty plains set a markedly different rhythm. Chobe National Park, established in 1967, protects much of this environment and is strongly associated with Botswana’s large elephant populations. Kasane, the district’s administrative centre, is the main town and a base for travel across the north. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Chobe District.

Botswana occupies a landlocked plateau in southern Africa. Much of the country lies within the Kalahari, while the Okavango Delta forms a vast inland wetland fed by seasonal waters from Angola. The Chobe River supports one of Africa’s major elephant populations, and the Makgadikgadi Pans create immense salt flats in the northeast. Botswana gained independence in 1966 and has maintained a strong identity through Setswana traditions alongside its diverse communities. Gaborone, the capital, is the country’s administrative and commercial centre. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Botswana’s wetlands and savannahs.
