Chobe National Park
node · earth
A Botswana national park of roughly 10,500 km2 on the Chobe river frontage, adjoining the Okavango system to the south-west and the Zimbabwean and Namibian components of KAZA to the east and north. Chobe's river frontage carries some of the densest dry-season elephant concentrations recorded anywhere, and its position at the Kazungula four-country convergence makes it the pivot of KAZA's connectivity argument.
