Five-Day Victoria Falls & Chobe Ultimate Experience

5 Days · 4 Nights

Journey Overview

This is the "ultimate" version of the Victoria Falls and Chobe combination — five days that give each element of the trip the time it deserves. The Falls get a proper day, including the option to add the Batoka Gorge zipline and other adrenaline activities. A cultural evening at The Boma rounds out the Victoria Falls leg with traditional drumming and a memorable dinner. Then it's two full days in Chobe National Park, with both a sunrise game drive and a river cruise, giving you the best chance of exceptional sightings across the park's enormous elephant population and diverse plains game. It's a trip with no filler days — every day has a clear purpose, and the pacing leaves enough room to actually enjoy each one.
