Kasane: Chobe Savanna Lodge - Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park is best known within Botswana for its exceptionally large elephant population. Along the Chobe River, its northern edge meets broad floodplains, side channels, grassy flats and riverine woodland that form some of the park’s defining habitats. Chobe was Botswana’s first national park, formally established in 1967, and its riverfront supports safaris by boat as well as on land. The park extends beyond this river corridor into the dry woodlands of the interior, including the Savuti area. Across the river, Namibia’s Zambezi Region begins; Chobe Savanna Lodge stands within this cross-border river landscape. Water, open grassland and woodland meet here at Botswana’s northeastern frontier.

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.
