“Fantastic day trip into Chobe, first a wild live Safari and saw lions, elephants, giraffe, impala, crocodiles, lots of birds - then a very nice buffet lunch at a beautiful restaurant followed by a fantastic boat cruise where we saw heaps of hippos buffalo’s and elephants. We had been in Kenya and Tanzania on Safari for 10 days prior but Chobe was different and so glad we added this on. Really well coordinated with the different guides for different parts of the day and highly recommended.”

“this was a wonderful trip that you may take as a add-up to Victoria Falls. The driver was punctual in picking us up. We had the chance to see many animals in the park and the afternoon boat cruise along the Chobe river made it possible to see more that you could not see from land! I recommend it!”
