A major feature of Chobe National Park is its elephant population. First of all, the Chobe has the largest elephant population in the world. This population covers most of northern Botswana plus northwestern Zimbabwe. The Botswana elephant population is currently estimated at are 120,000.
We camped a
t Ihaha on the Chobe River for six days. On our way to the camp site on the first day we saw lions eating a wilderbeast, elephans, kudu, chimps, and giraffe. The days were hot, too hot to do anything but sit under a tree and read a book. The afternoons were spent four wheeling around the park seeing animals at our own leisure. Two of the men we were with were former hunters in the Southern African region so they were like an open encyclopedia when it came to animals and their behavior.
