The park can be divided into 4 areas, each corresponding to one distinct ecosystem:
The Serondela area (or Chobe riverfront), situated in the extreme Northeast of the park, has as its main geographical features lush floodplains and dense woodland of mahogany, teak, and other hardwoods. The Chobe River, which flows along the Northeast border of the park, is a major watering spot, especially in the dry season (May through October) for large breeding herds of elephants, giraffe, sable, and African buffalo. This is likely Chobe's most visited section, in large part because of its proximity to Victoria Falls. The town of Kasane, situated just downstream, is the most important town in the region and serves as the northern entrance to the park.
The Savuti Marsh area) large constitutes the western stretch of the park. The Savuti Marsh is the relic of a large inland lake. The region is also covered with extensive savannahs and rolling grasslands, which makes wildlife particularly dynamic in this section of the park. During dry seasons, tourists going on a safari often sight warthog, kudu, impala, zebra, wildebeest, and a herd of elephants.
Pride of lions, hyenas, zebras, or more rarely cheetahs are sighted as well. This region is reputed for its annual migration of zebras and predators.
The Linyanti Marsh, located at the northwest corner of the park and to the north of Savuti, is adjacent to the Linyanti River. To the west of this area lies Selinda Reserve and on the northern bank of Kwando River is Namibia's Nkasa Rupara National Park. Around these two rivers are riverine woodlands, open woodlands as well as lagoons, and the rest of the region mainly consists of flood plains. There are large concentrations of lion prides, leopard, African wild dog, roan antelope, sable antelope, a hippopotamus pod, and herds of African bush elephant. The rarer red lechwe, sitatunga and a bask of Nile crocodiles also occur in the area. Bird diversity is rich.
Between Linyanti and Savuti Marshes lies a hot and dry hinterland, mainly occupied by the Nogatsaa grass woodland. This section is little known and is a great place for spotting elands.
