Chobe Day Trip from Victoria Falls

About the Adventure

Chobe National Park holds one of the largest elephant populations on earth, and it's close enough to Victoria Falls to visit in a single day. A Chobe day trip crosses the border into Botswana for a morning game drive along the wildlife-rich riverfront, followed by a boat-based game cruise on the Chobe River — often the highlight, as elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile gather at the water's edge, sometimes within metres of the boat. The day's logistics — border crossing, timing, lunch — are handled by the operator, so the focus stays on the wildlife.

Pricing

Typically includes the game drive, river cruise, lunch, park fees and round-trip transfers. Visa not included.

Good to Know

• Border crossing: The trip crosses into Botswana at Kazungula. Most nationalities are covered by the KAZA Univisa ($50), valid for Zimbabwe and Zambia and permitting day trips to Botswana; carry your passport.
• The river cruise is usually the standout — Chobe's riverfront has some of the highest game densities in Africa.
• Early start: Expect a pre-dawn departure to maximise time in the park.
