Chobe Under Canvas

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.

MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN CHOBE

It’s the beginning of winter and Chobe is experiencing something that we never have seen before, as almost 4 elephants and 1 buffalo have died along the water. All these dead elephants are teenagers, to my surprise, and seemed to just have collapsed after having a drink. The cause is still unknown as this is so recent, and as usual vultures, hyena, jackals and scavenging lions are easy to find early in the morning along these carcasses.
