About this experience
This is not just a safari—it’s two countries, two ecosystems, and two unforgettable experiences in one seamless day. What sets our Chobe Day Tour from Victoria Falls apart is the perfect balance between thrilling land-based wildlife encounters and a peaceful, scenic river safari, all expertly coordinated with door-to-door service and professional guides.
Unlike other tours, we combine the raw excitement of a 4x4 game drive—where you may spot lions, leopards, elephants, and giraffes—with the tranquil beauty of a Chobe River cruise, where hippos, crocodiles, and exotic birdlife come to life just meters from your boat.
We take care of every detail—from border assistance to park fees and a delicious riverside lunch—so you can simply focus on soaking up the sights, snapping perfect photos, and creating lasting memories.

The morning kicks off with an exciting open-vehicle game drive through the Chobe Riverfront area—home to the largest population of elephants in Africa, along with lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelope, and more. Experienced safari guides lead the way, helping guests track animals and share insights about the park’s rich ecosystem.
After the game drive, travelers relax and enjoy a buffet lunch at a riverfront lodge, where they can unwind with views of the Chobe River.
In the afternoon, the experience continues with a 2.5-hour Chobe River cruise aboard a comfortable safari boat. This peaceful river safari offers close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants bathing along the riverbanks, along with a variety of birds and aquatic life. It’s a photographer’s dream and a truly tranquil way to observe wildlife from a different perspective.
