Chobe Under Canvas is situated in the Chobe National Park which encompasses 11 700 km2 of wilderness, bordered in the north by the beautiful Chobe River, and buffered on all sides by wildlife management areas and forest reserves allowing for the free movement of game. A wildlife enthusiast’s dream, Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world and is home to the largest single concentration of elephant.

Being at Chobe under Canvas allows guests the opportunity to be some of the first to be in the park and having sightings all to themselves before the wave to game drive vehicles come in from Kasane for their day trips.

This was one of those sightings where a family of elephants came to the water’s edge, one adult in front of the babies and slowly started to cross. The youngsters would hold onto the adults' tails in front of them. They also got assistance from the adults coming from behind.

During this time of the year the elephants are seen doing this on a regular basis so that they can access the green grasses on the floodplains.
