The early morning game drive is led by a professional local guide with in-depth knowledge of the Chobe region, wildlife behavior, and seasonal movements.

Observe large elephant herds, giraffes, buffalo, and possibly lions on the plains. The guided safari focuses on authentic and unhurried wildlife encounters supported by local expertise.

After the game drive, cross the river to Impalila Island in Namibia for a guided visit to a local village. Learn about traditional fishing, farming, and the community’s close relationship with the river environment.

Conclude with a buffet lunch at Cresta Mowana Safari Lodge, situated along the riverbank, featuring local and international dishes and river views. This provides a chance to relax and reflect on the day’s cultural and wildlife experiences.
