Chobe National Park Day Trip
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.
Good to Know
- A valid passport with at least six months validity and two blank pages is essential for crossing the border into Botswana.
- Bring USD cash (approx. $20 per person) for the mandatory Botswana National Park fees, which are not included in the activity price.
- Consider getting a KAZA UniVisa on arrival in Zimbabwe to simplify re-entry and save on potential visa costs.
- Dress in neutral-coloured layers. A warm jacket is vital for the cool morning, while a hat and sunscreen are needed for the afternoon.
- Bring binoculars and a camera with a good zoom lens to make the most of wildlife sightings from the boat and vehicle.
