Chobe overnight camping safari – multiple game drives + river cruise tracking lions, leopards, elephants and hippos, comfortable tents inside the park with lion roars and hippo grunts at night, campfire dinners and sunrise coffee, expert guides, all meals and transfers from Livingstone, Victoria Falls or Kasane included (2 days/1 night, max 16 guests).
Cross from Victoria Falls or Livingstone into Botswana for a compact 2-day/1-night safari in Chobe National Park, where you'll spend two full days immersed in one of Africa's richest wildlife areas—famous for its massive elephant herds, riverfront action, and the chance to see lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles up close.
Day 1 starts with a morning boat cruise along the Chobe River, gliding past drinking elephants, yawning hippos, sunning crocodiles, and countless birds, then switches to an afternoon game drive in open 4x4s before settling into your tented camp for dinner under the stars. Day 2 begins with an early morning game drive—searching for predators and herds in the golden light—followed by a bush brunch and return to Victoria Falls or Livingstone.
This small-group adventure (max 16) includes hotel pickup/drop-off, all transfers, boat cruise, game drives, dinner under the stars, bush brunch, and bottled water/soft drinks.
Real talk: park fees (~US$20/person) are typically included but confirm; bring passports and birth certificates for kids under 18.
Tented camping is comfortable but rustic—no electricity, shared facilities—book early for dry season peak.
Here's practical advice to help your Chobe overnight go well, based on common experiences with wildlife, camping, and weather. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
Common issues. Not wheelchair accessible—bush 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.
Comfortable walk-in tents with bedding, but no electricity or private bathrooms. Guests said it felt authentic and thrilling—falling asleep to lion roars.
Yes for children 12+ who handle long days and camping. Families said teens loved the boat and elephants, but younger ones may find it tiring.
Usually available—notify early for adjustments. Guests found meals hearty and accommodating.
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, overnight camping in the bush, and meals included. Past guests preferred the immersive wilderness feel and wildlife payoff over day trips.
