Cross Kazungula Bridge after immigration, morning game cruise spotting elephant herds and hippos along Chobe River, buffet lunch at Chobe Safari Lodge, afternoon 4×4 drive for Big 5 encounters, hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, guide and park fees included.
Cross into Botswana from Victoria Falls on a seamless full-day safari that packs two of Africa's premier wildlife experiences into one unforgettable journey.
Start with a thrilling morning cruise along the Chobe River, gliding past massive elephant herds drinking at the water’s edge, hippos yawning in the shallows, and crocodiles basking on the banks—often so close you can hear their grunts and splashes. After a hearty buffet lunch at a scenic lodge overlooking the river, switch to an open 4x4 game drive through Chobe National Park, scanning the savanna for lions, leopards, buffalo, and the elusive Big 5.
This 10-hour adventure includes hotel pickup/drop-off in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) or Livingstone (Zambia), air-conditioned transport, a knowledgeable local guide, soft drinks/water, and the chance to see the new Kazungula Bridge and the Quadripoint where four countries meet.
Real talk: park fees (US$25 per person) are payable in cash on the day, and border crossings are smooth but require passports (and birth certificates for kids 0–18).
Small-group vibe with big wildlife payoff—book early for peak dry season.
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 cruise ~2–3 hours; afternoon 4x4 ~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 small-group feel. Past guests preferred the comprehensive wildlife experience and smooth border handling over shorter or larger tours.
