History
Chobe was designated Botswana’s first national park and has long been a focal point for regional conservation and tourism, protecting riverine and savanna habitats.
Conservation
Tourism-funded park fees and guided protocols support anti-poaching and habitat management; visitors should minimize disturbance and avoid single-use plastics where possible.
