Description

Clients are picked up from their Victoria Falls hotels or lodges around 5:30 am and transferred to the Botswana border within one hour. After border customs, you board safari jeeps and enter the park early to avoid crowds disturbing the animals. The game drive lasts about five hours and includes sightings of lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, and more.

Following the game drive, a buffet lunch is served at Cresta Mowana Hotel in Kasane. The day concludes with a sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River, where you can observe game grazing on islands, elephants swimming, and various bird species along the riverbanks. The cruise offers excellent opportunities for sunset photography as the sun sets during the cruise. The boat returns to the border by 6:30 pm for the transfer back to Victoria Falls hotels. Times may vary by season.
