of the Chobe River, Chobe Savanna Lodge overlooks the vast floodplains of the
Chobe National Park's Puku Flats. The Chobe Savanna Lodge offers discerning
guests a hideaway holiday for those looking for an exclusive Chobe River
experience. The area is renowned for its diverse and prolific wildlife,
including the rare Puku Antelope. It is home to large herds of Elephant,
Buffalo and Hippo, as well as concentrations of other wildlife, including
Giraffe, Sable, Wild Dog, Lion and other predators, which come down to the
rivers edge to drink, graze and hunt.
THE CHOBE RIVERFRONT - The Chobe Riverfront forms part of the
Chobe National Park and is located on the northern border of Botswana, this
pristine wilderness, ranges from the verdant flood grassland and thickets
beside the Chobe River, to forest, Mopane woodland and scrub.
Along the riverfront the wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. The
elephant population, estimated to number in excess 30,000, is the largest
single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines of a proclaimed
National Park.
During the harsh season, the herds migrate south to north and congregate along
the perennial Chobe Rivers fertile flood plains. |
