Let us take your breath away on the Chobe River. It might be the variety and numbers of game, it might be the breath-taking sunsets... let’s aim for both. There’s something so extraordinary about viewing wildlife from a different perspective, where herds of animals converge on – or even in - the water to drink; hippos and crocodiles are right there below you or on the banks. The birdlife is sensational. Our open-sided boats provide superb photographic opportunities, and our licensed professional guides know just where to guide you for the best experience of the River.
