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.
Never come between a lioness and her lunch
On our first day at Chobe Under Canvas (and we hadn't even got to camp) we pulled over to watch some Warthogs scrabbling in the dust when Meier, our guide, glanced over his shoulder to see a Lioness on the other side of the Land Cruiser – we had come between her and her lunch!! Meier threw the vehicle into reverse and we backed off. We were lucky to be able to watch her as she stalked her prey but the great distance and open space made it impossible for her to get close enough to launch an attack.
Later in the day we caught her again, this time stalking Water Buffalo.
