Itinerary

1. Chobe National Park Safari

   • Get picked up by your African tour guide from the hotel at 7:00 am.
   • Head straight to Chobe National Park in Botswana. It is a 70km drive (about one hour of safe driving) through the Zambezi National Park (Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the Zambia side) with good chances of spotting wildlife before going to Botswana.
   • Complete some simple immigration formalities at the Zimbabwe/Zambia – Botswana border and then head straight to the Chobe River Jetty for the three-hour Chobe River game cruises. 
   • When the cruise starts, get the opportunity to see a host of waders and water birds along with the ever-present crocodiles and lurking hippos. Chobe is renowned for scores of large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink, most notably African buffalos and elephants. Puku and Lechwe are often seen on the island, and on the bank’s kudu, impala and waterbuck are common. 
   • Have some complimentary soft drinks on the boat, tea and coffee, and a light snack before the guest’s activity.
   • Eat a satisfying lunch served at the Chobe Safari Lodge (or similar). Bottled water, tea, and coffee are included with lunch.
   • Set out on a game drive & get close to nature with specially adapted open 4x4 vehicles. 
   • Catch sights of Lions, Elands, Sables, and Roan antelopes are common at certain times of the year. Leopards are elusive but common in the area – you may be lucky! 
   • Drive along the waterfront, where you will see lions often lying in wait or just dozing in the shade. Complimentary soft drinks are provided while experiencing some of the best game viewings in Africa.
   • Return to the border at 4:30 pm for the return transfer to Victoria Falls/Livingstone. 
   • On the way, you can also stop by at the Zambezi/Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and see some more wildlife.
   • Get back to your hotel at about 6:00 pm.
