Chobe National Park itself houses some of Africa's most formidable big cats, despite the greater Chobe region being more commonly associated with cheetahs. What makes these predators truly remarkable is how uniquely they have adapted to their environment, as seen in these sightings captured by our guests.
Lions of Chobe:
- Savuti’s lions are among Africa’s largest, with males reaching up to 250 kg.
- Known for rare hunting behaviour, they take down buffalo, giraffe, and even young elephants.
- Fierce competition with hyena clans creates some of the most dramatic predator dynamics in Chobe.
Leopards of Chobe:
-Leopards in Chobe are elusive masters of stealth, often active during the cooler hours.
-To protect their meals from lions and hyenas, they frequently hoist kills high into the trees.
-Their adaptability allows them to thrive across riverine forests, open woodland, and the rugged Savuti landscape.
