- Chobe Game Drives
Join this exciting overnight safari for the opportunity to spend the night in the magnificent Chobe National Park, famous for its vast herds of elephant. We get our first glimpse of these wonderful animals from a boat cruise on the Chobe River, before we head back onto dry land for an evening around the campfire, comforted by the night sounds of the bush. The morning greets us with a cacophony of birdsong as we head out on our game drive to further explore, before heading back to the picturesque town of Victoria Falls.
DAY 1: Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park (D)
We meet this morning at the Victoria Falls Rest Camp in Parkway Drive and after checking in and a short briefing; we hit the road to Botswana. After border formalities, we head to the town of Kasane on the banks of the Chobe River. This afternoon we board our game viewing boat and begin our excursion into Chobe National Park via the Chobe River. After our cruise, we board 4x4 game vehicles and game drive our way to our pre-erected semi-luxury camp situated near the banks of the Chobe River. Our camp consists of spacious 3m x 3m dome tents equipped with camp beds, mattresses and linen, shower and toilet tents and a dining area. Our overnight safari gives us ample opportunity to savour the fantastic wildlife within the park, known throughout the world as Africa’s greatest elephant sanctuary. Chobe is also home to a wide variety of other animals including Cape buffalo, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra and many of the antelope species. Chobe river-front is also one of the best bird-watching sites in Botswana.
Please Note: The campsites used in Chobe National Park are not fenced and wild animals can and sometimes do venture into and through our camp. This is natural for the wildlife and part of the Chobe experience. Your guide will brief you on camp security when you arrive into camp so please do not be alarmed.
DAY 2: Chobe National Park to Kasane (B)
We arise before dawn to tea and coffee, before starting our morning game drive. With some luck we’ll catch a few of the nocturnal animals before they rest up for the day as well glimpsing some of the rest of Africa’s wildlife waking up. We return to our camp for breakfast, before transferring out of the park to Kasane in the late morning. From here we head back to Victoria Falls where this trip ends on arrival in the late afternoon.
