Watching the elephants's river crossing in Chobe was quite something. Chobe is best known for its concentrations of elephant – estimated to be over 120,000 and it comprises of elements of what is widely believed to the 'largest surviving continuous elephant population'. The remote and barren environment of the park has contributed to their survival, as other huge herds of elephant were being systematically hunted out in the 1970's and 1980's. There are also decent amounts of buffalo, antelope and associated pot-pourri of predators. Birding is also excellent, with many migrants visiting from November to March. The Chobe elephant are migratory. Seasonal crusades can be to 200km from the Chobe and Linyanti Rivers, where they concentrate in the dry season, to the pans in the south-east of the park. The browsing and grazing continue as the rains fall, when the huge herds disperse into smaller family groups. The elephants of Chobe have the distinction of being the largest in body size of all living elephants, but their ivory is brittle and tusks rarely survive the greater wear required of such a large mammal. @vipturizm @elements_travel @ozanemreyerlikaya #travel #traveling #gamedrive #safari #africa #botswana #chobe #choberiver #chobenationalpark #chobegamelodge #vipturizm #elementsstravel #traveldesigner #elephant #elephants #elephantlove (at Chobe National Park, Botswana)
