The Chobe River, which flows along the Northeastern border of the park, is a drinking spot for elephants and buffaloes at dry season. This is the place were I have made this video with photo’s end of december 2009. The famous bee-eater is also spotted here, along the river. The park is probably best known for its spectacular elephant population: 50000 elephants today, it is actually the highest elephant concentration of Africa. Moreover, most of them are probably part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population on Earth. The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from a few thousand. They have not been affected by the massive illicit exploitation of the 1970s and 1980s. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant populations. Yet they are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks, perhaps due to calcium deficiency in the soils.
