Maximise your time at Victoria Falls with a full-day adventure into the wild heart of Botswana’s Chobe National Park. We begin with a scenic morning coach journey to the Kazungula border, where your expert Botswana guide will welcome you to one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations.

The day starts with a leisurely river cruise along the Chobe River, a haven for wildlife and one of the continent’s most dramatic natural settings. Glide past pods of hippos and the massive crocodiles that lurk in the waters, while keeping watch for elephants — in the dry season, up to 85,000 roam the park, many gathered along the riverbanks. The river teems with life, offering unforgettable encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife against a backdrop of lush floodplains and shimmering waters.

After the cruise, enjoy lunch at a riverside hotel, soaking in the views and the sounds of the wild before boarding specialised safari vehicles for an afternoon game drive. Traverse the diverse landscapes of Chobe National Park, possibly spotting lions, leopards, buffalo, and a wide variety of antelope among the trees and grasslands. Your guide will share fascinating insights into animal behaviour, the park’s ecosystem, and conservation efforts, bringing the stories of this remarkable wilderness to life.

As the day draws to a close, we return to the Kazungula border to meet our Zimbabwean guide for the journey back to Victoria Falls, carrying memories of a day spent immersed in Africa’s spectacular wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
