... First of two fantastic new African National Park postcards for my collection💚... known as "The Land of The Giants" the Park is most famous for its elephant population🐘... today, it is home to over 50,000 elephants, with individual herds numbering in the hundreds... and giants they are, since all the elephants here are Kalahari elephants, the biggest size of any elephant in the world... but Botswana today is caught in the middle of a dilemma... it is paying the price for its environmental success... as both human and elephant populations grow, so the struggle between them for land, food and, especially, water grows... and the conflict is growing fast😔 -Hamilton Wende- ...Thanks a lot Alena!!(✿◠‿◠)
Chobe National Park is the country’s first national park covering nearly 11 000 square kilometers, which makes it the third-largest park/game reserve in Botswana.The Chobe River forms the northern boundary and in the extreme southwest corner it borders onto Moremi Game Reserve.
The park is named after the majestic Chobe River that breathes life into the northern Kalahari desert.
