The Districts of Northwest/Ngamiland and Chobe are not separated for Botswana.

A few remarks on this...

So far as I can make out, Chobe was part of Northwest/Ngamiland from about 1966 to 2006, when Chobe was split out. The ISO 3166 code for Chobe was assigned in 2014 as BW-CH; the other two districts of Botswana for which ISO codes were assigned at the time both have them assigned correctly.

If it's of any help, GADM in this case does show the boundaries of Chobe (https://gadm.org/maps/BWA_1.html).
