Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and also the most biologically diverse. This park locates in the north of the country and it
is noted for having a population of lions which prey on elephants.
The idea of a national park which would protect the varied local wildlife and promote tourism was first proposed in 1931. The following year, 24,000 km2 (9,300 sq mi) around Chobe district were officially declared a non-hunting area.
