Chobe River Boat Safari
Start the day on the Chobe River, home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations. From a safari boat, observe elephants swimming between islands, hippos in the shallows, and crocodiles along the banks. Buffalo gather at the water’s edge while fish eagles soar overhead. This river perspective offers close-up wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities not possible on land.
Your guide provides insights into animal behaviour, migration, and the Chobe ecosystem, making the safari both educational and immersive.
Lunch Break
After the river safari, enjoy lunch at a local lodge in Kasane to refresh before the afternoon game drive.

In the afternoon, explore the park in an open 4x4 vehicle. Spot lions resting under acacia trees, giraffes crossing the plains, and large herds of buffalo. Seasonal sightings may include leopards, sable antelope, kudu, and various bird species.
Chobe is renowned for its massive elephant herds, often seen congregating on the floodplains, offering one of Africa’s most significant wildlife spectacles. After the game drive, return to the border and transfer back to Victoria Falls.
