Landkaart Chobe - Tourist Map of Chobe National Park Botswana | Shell Veronica Roodt

Zeer bijzondere landkaart van Chobe National Park in Botswana. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coordinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtpunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend.

The map: The Chobe map consists of a complete map of Chobe on the front of the map and there are 5 individual maps of the major tourist areas on the back of the map. These are Chobe river front east, Chobe river front west, Nogatsaa, Savute and a small orientation map. The map was compiled by using satellite images, giving one a birds eye-view of the area. The roads were tracked by means of a GPS and then super-imposed on the photographs. Detailed GPS co-ordinates are supplied for game-drive areas. The Chobe map contains 126 GPS co-ordinates.

The four main tourist areas: The Chobe National Park consists of a variety of vegetation types and geological features, offering extreme contrasts and a wide range of wildlife experiences within the confines of one park. Four main tourist areas have been developed. They are as follows:

Chobe River Front - The Chobe is proud of and very famous for its abundance of elephants – the highest concentration anywhere in the world! There are also huge herds of buffalo, the Chobe bushbuck, the puku (an antelope), its rich birdlife and, not least, for its exquisite sunsets.

Linyanti - There are only 7 km of riverfront that can be used for game-drives and the road to get there is very sandy. To truly enjoy the Linyanti area one should visit one of the lodges but it is only possible to get to the lodges by air.

Savute - In sharp contrast to the lush Chobe riverfront is the almost desert-like landscape of the Savute. A scorching sun, loose, hot sand, animals escaping the heat by clumping together in the limited available shade and elephants impatiently lining up to get to the ever dwindling water supply. All of the above, offer a wildlife experience unique to Savute.

Nogatsaa area - When the pans have water, game viewing in this area is very good. Elephant activity is rife and one can watch the animals from the comfort of a hide at many of the water holes. This area is not open to the general public for camping but it is possible to visit the area on day-trips.
