Chobe's Giants: Unforgettable Day Safari from Vic Falls

Started the day early from my lodge in Victoria Falls, and the tour operator reminded me to ask for a packed breakfast. We were helped through immigration, however I did get separated from my group due to a bathroom break after exiting the immigration post, so some signage or communication about which vehicle we were heading for would have been appreciated. The driver was also the guide, and very knowledgeable. The vehicle is open, and the track is bumpy, so be prepared for that. The first stop did not include snacks, only water. Also, toilets are very basic so bring a small pack of tissues and wet wipes to clean yourself. Lunch was a buffet at Mowana resort, and then we headed out onto the river. The boat was not large, so if you're not great with boats, be aware that this is included. Overall, we saw impala, elephant, giraffe, hippos, baboons, monkeys, kudu, crocodiles, and plenty of birdlife. You will need sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. You may need a scarf to cover your mouth and nose if the wind bothers you. You will get dusty.

This was a very nice tour! Our guide BK was very knowledgeable and patient with some rowdy passengers - kudos to him for that! We saw a huge pride of lions, some came very close to the vehicle. The lunch was good, the cruise was good too overall. I just wasn’t expecting to have that drivers and multiple guides throughout the tour, but I guess it makes sense since we’re crossing the border.

Whilst we didn’t see lions leopards and cheetahs we did see the most spectacular sight of over 100 elephants lined up near the river. We also got close to hippos and buffalo.

The vehicle in Botswana was of very poor quality far worse than others. The guide whilst friendly and knowledgeable was somewhat difficult to understand.We did a lot of driving without too much in the way of explanation.

The morning land safari was great as we saw lions, giraffe, elephants and the had a nice lunch followed by river safari where we saw buffalo, hippo, crocs and a herd of elephant swam across the river right in front of us.

From start to finish this was a tour to remember - 2 days safari in Chobe NP, and one night camping. Pamela was great to deal with during the reservation and Kudzi was a delight, driving us wherever we needed to go. The stand out, though, was Cobra, the most knowledgeable and witty game drive guide we could have asked for. Under his charge we had 3 leopard sightings, got to see a lioness hunting zebra (and nearly 20 other lions), a Marshall eagle with a new kill and countless elephants, hippos, impala etc, as well as so many beautiful birds, all of which he could identify instantly. He even found time to rescue two other vehicles along the way, ensuring that our time with him was memorable for all the right reasons. The camp itself was also terrific, comfortable and well-catered. Yes, it was a bit of an indulgence but we felt we more than got our moneys worth. Thoroughly recommended.

Outstanding and surreal. Cobra was our Guide and was wonderful and took his time showing and explaining to the group the varied animals and stories inland and Mr Guide was our boat guide and was fabulous- the highlight were the elephants and hippos- just incredible at the river

They were very professional, all activities provided were of excellent quality, time-tables strictly followed, rangers were excellent and gave us an unforgettable experience. Our driver Kudzi was very professional and always ready to give information and meet our needs. We also made with them safari to Hwange, it was also excellent experience, we enjoyed it much.

Amazing experience. Saw so many animals during the land and boat portion. So many elephants, buffalos, impala, giraffes, kudo, we even saw a pack of female lions. LT was our guide and he was very informative and pleasant.

This was a very nice day trip to Botswana. We were able to do a game drive in the AM and then a river cruise in the afternoon. Game drive we saw many animals 3 out of the big 5. For lunch we went to one of the local hotels Cresta Moana and the food was very good. Just as a heads up, Drinks are not included so an extra charge. The river cruise was nice because you got to get a better view of the animals. Please remember to bring your passport and if you get an visa, get double entry it will save you time!
