The Full-Day Chobe National Park Safari (Botswana) Departing at 7:00 AM, our Chobe Day Trip takes you 70 km west to the Kazungula border. The magic of Chobe lies in its two-part format: a morning wildlife cruise along the Chobe River—where hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, and swimming elephants are viewed at eye level from the water—followed by a riverside lunch and an afternoon open-4x4 game drive.
The Half-Day Zambezi National Park Safari (Zimbabwe) If you prefer not to spend two hours in transit or cross an international border, Zambezi National Park begins just 5 km upstream from Victoria Falls. In 3.5 hours, you explore riverine palm islands and Mopane woodland teeming with elephant, giraffe, sable antelope, zebra, and lion—returning to your lodge in time for lunch by the pool.
