Chobe National Park from Victoria Falls – seamless border transfer, 3-hour morning 4×4 game drive for lions & elephants, buffet lunch, 3-hour afternoon river cruise with hippos and herds up close, A/C transport, water and all fees included (full day).
Cross from Victoria Falls into Botswana for a full-day safari in Chobe National Park, Africa's premier wildlife haven where massive elephant herds converge along the riverfront and the Big 5 roam free.
Start with a mid-morning open 4x4 game drive through the park's rugged interior, scanning for lions, leopards, giraffes, buffalo, and more in the golden light. Refuel with a hearty buffet lunch at a scenic lodge, then switch to an afternoon boat cruise along the Chobe River—gliding close to drinking elephants, yawning hippos, sunning crocodiles, and countless birds for an intimate water-level perspective.
This 8–10 hour adventure includes hotel pickup/drop-off in Victoria Falls town, air-conditioned transport, bottled water, a professional guide, the game drive, boat cruise, and lunch.
Real talk: park fees (~US$25/person) are typically included but confirm with your operator; bring passports and birth certificates for kids under 18.
Comfortable group size (max 20)—book early for dry season peak (May–October) when wildlife concentrates along the river.
Here's practical advice to help your Chobe day go well, based on common experiences with wildlife, borders, and weather. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
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.
High likelihood—Chobe is one of Africa's best for elephants year-round. Guides maximize sightings; guests saw large herds and diverse wildlife most trips.
Morning game drive ~3 hours; afternoon boat cruise ~3 hours. Flexible based on animal movement—guides adjust for the best experience.
Yes for children who handle long days and bumpy rides. Families said kids loved the boat and elephants, but supervise closely.
Buffet usually has veg choices (salads, veggies, sides). Notify early for adjustments. Guests found options sufficient.
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.
Full river cruise + game drive combo, included meals, and smooth border handling. Past guests preferred the comprehensive wildlife experience over shorter or larger tours.
