Chobe National Park Day Trip

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
DurationFull Day (approx. 10-11 hours)

About the Adventure

For guests based in Victoria Falls, a day trip to Botswana's Chobe National Park is an unmissable opportunity to experience one of Africa's most legendary wildlife sanctuaries. Famed for hosting the world's largest concentration of elephants, Chobe offers a staggering density of game, all conveniently located just over an hour's drive away. This full-day excursion is expertly designed to give you two distinct safari perspectives. The day begins with a tranquil morning cruise along the Chobe River, offering incredible water-level views of elephants swimming, vast pods of hippos, and enormous crocodiles basking on the banks. After a delicious buffet lunch at a riverside lodge, you'll switch to an open 4x4 vehicle for an afternoon game drive, heading deep into the park in search of lions, leopards, buffalo, and diverse antelope species. We handle all the cross-border logistics, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey through the Kazungula border. This allows you to relax and immerse yourself fully in a day of world-class wildlife viewing before being returned to your Victoria Falls hotel in the evening.
