Overview

Embark on a seamless 3-day cross-border adventure that blends the thunder of Victoria Falls, the thrill of tracking white rhinos on foot, and the raw wildlife spectacle of Chobe National Park.

Day 1 starts with a guided rhino walk in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park—tracking these massive, endangered animals up close with expert rangers—followed by a visit to the Livingstone Museum for insights into Zambia’s history and David Livingstone’s legacy, then an afternoon tour of Victoria Falls from the Zambian side, feeling the mist of the “Smoke That Thunders.” Day 2 crosses into Zimbabwe for a morning cultural visit to Mukuni Village, meeting artisans and learning Leya traditions, then an afternoon tour of Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side with expansive, panoramic views. Day 3 heads to Chobe National Park in Botswana for a full-day safari—morning game drive for lions, leopards, and buffalo, lunch at a riverside lodge, and afternoon boat cruise along the Chobe River, gliding past massive elephant herds, hippos, and crocodiles.

This private-style package includes hotel pickup/drop-off in Livingstone/Victoria Falls, air-conditioned transport, bilingual guides, breakfast (3 days), lunch (Day 3), and all park fees/activities.

Real talk: multiple border crossings require passports (and birth certificates for kids under 18); KAZA UniVisa recommended for Zambia/Zimbabwe/Botswana.

Small groups for a personal pace—book early for peak dry season.

What to Expect from the Tour

Here's practical advice to help your 3-day trip go well, based on common experiences with wildlife, borders, and weather. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.

  • Gear essentials. Light layers (early mornings cool, afternoons warm), hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, binoculars, and a good camera/phone aren't optional. Several guests said the boat breeze chills—bring a windbreaker. Cash for tips and any extra fees essential.
  • Wildlife sightings. Chobe excels in elephants—guests reported huge herds drinking at the river; rhino walk is intimate and thrilling. Guides maximize sightings—binoculars help.
  • Border crossings. Quick with guide assistance. Bring passports (and birth certificates for kids 0–18). Guests said the process took ~30 minutes total.
  • Boat and game drive. Morning cruise is calm and shaded; afternoon 4x4 is open-air and bumpy. Guides spot animals from afar—binoculars help.
  • Meals. Breakfast included; Day 3 lunch buffet is hearty. Guests loved the fresh options and river views.
  • Group setup. Small groups feel relaxed. Past visitors said the size allowed personal guide attention.
  • Best time to visit. Year-round, but May to October (dry season) for best wildlife concentrations along the river. Guests early 2026 noted June–September offered epic elephant herds and clear skies.
Month/Season Upsides Downsides Recommended Start Time
May-Oct (Dry) Animals concentrate on river, best sightings Colder mornings Early morning
Nov-Apr (Wet) Greener landscapes, fewer crowds Animals more dispersed Early morning

Common issues. Not wheelchair accessible—boat and 4x4 terrain. Guests found moderate walking but bumpy rides—hold on tight. Weather rarely cancels; dress in layers.

FAQ

Will we definitely see elephants and rhinos?

High likelihood—Chobe is elephant central, and rhino walk is guided for close views. Guides maximize sightings; guests saw large herds and rhinos most trips.

How long are the boat and game drive?

Morning cruise ~3 hours; afternoon 4x4 ~3 hours. Flexible based on animal movement—guides adjust for the best experience.

Suitable for kids?

Yes for children who handle long days and bumpy rides. Families said kids loved the boat and rhinos, but supervise closely.

Vegetarian meal options?

Buffet usually has veg choices (salads, veggies, sides). Notify early for adjustments. Guests found options sufficient.

Best photos from the tour?

Boat deck and open 4x4 give great angles—bring a good zoom lens or phone with stabilizer. Guides pause for shots when animals are close.

Why this multi-country tour?

Victoria Falls from both sides, rhino walk, and Chobe river/land combo in 3 days. Past guests preferred the comprehensive wildlife and falls experience over single-park trips.
