Cross from Victoria Falls into Botswana for a Chobe River cruise and game drive in Chobe National Park. Expect elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, birds, and perhaps lions. Guides such as Cobra, Brook, PK, and Rocky are praised for sharp animal spotting. Lunch is served at a lodge in Kasane, with drinks generally extra.

“We were collected from our hotel at the nominated time by Stanford and driven to the border, viewing wildlife by the roadside along the way. Stanford was happy to stop for us to take photos and to point out animals as we travelled along. We arrived at the border and were escorted through the crossing where we then met our guide Cobra who was amazing! Our jeep safari was fantastic and we saw many animals including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and countless zebra and impala. Cobra was very knowledgeable and personable and helped us learn more about the National Park. Lunch which was provided was buffet style and was delicious.…”

Expect early pickup, border assistance, mineral water, professional guides, and excellent elephant sightings. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and the right travel documents.

“Our pick up and transfers were great. Our driver helped us get through the various borders as made our way to Chobe. We were offered bottled water and soft drinks throughout the day. With an experience like this, you're always at the mercy of mother nature. Regardless, our guides did their best to make it a great experience. For the safari drive portion, Cobra was great with checking in with us about our interests and spent extra time to make sure we got to see lions sighting. Lunch was buffet style at a lovely lodge along the river where the cruise safari launched. It seems like we were there at…”

“This was the most unprofessional tour I have ever taken. I usually trust Viator with all my foreign tours and for the past 3 years things have been great. However, it seems Viator did not investigate this tour operator as he subcontracted our day trip with a cut-rate operator and the transfers were risky and not at all what the tour described- Air-conditioned mini van- This company picked us up at 5 am as stated and then took us the long way around to Chobe through the border waiting in a long line and instead of having a boat take us across the water he made us run and literally…”

“The morning game drive was great. We saw more animals than we expected. The afternoon boat trip was too short, and we didn't have much time to see the hippos, which was disappointing. There were more people than in other cars, and we encountered some problems, which caused us to lose time. It was very disappointing.”
