Chobe district is made up of Kasane Township and eight villages of Pandamatenga, Lesoma, Kazungula in the east, Mabele, Kavimba, Kachikau, Satau, and Parakarungu in the west. They said the land shortage is worsened by the fact that only 26% of the land in the district is reserved for human settlements and the rest for wildlife.
