Two-Day Victoria Falls & Chobe Escape

2 Days · 1 Nights

Journey Overview

A single day in Chobe National Park is rewarding, but it's also a lot of driving for one boat cruise and one game drive. This two-day version gives the park room to breathe: a full day of safari activities, an overnight stay near the park, and a more relaxed pace throughout — paired with time at Victoria Falls itself. The trip opens with a guided tour of the Falls, then crosses into Botswana for an afternoon game drive through Chobe's riverfront, famous for its enormous elephant herds. After an overnight stay, day two brings a Chobe River cruise — often the best wildlife viewing of the trip — before the return transfer to Victoria Falls. It's the version of this combination built for people who'd rather see it properly than see it quickly.

The day begins with a guided tour of Victoria Falls, taking in the key viewpoints along the rainforest trails with a local guide. From there, you'll transfer to the Botswana border (we handle the crossing) and head into Chobe National Park for an afternoon game drive along the riverfront — prime territory for elephant, buffalo, and a wide range of plains game. The evening is spent at a lodge near the park.
