Day Trip From Victoria Falls To The Chobe
Drive from your hotel in Victoria Falls or Livingstone Hotel to Chobe National Park in Botswana, through the Zambezi National Park with good chances of wildlife spotting before we even get to Botswana. The day typically starts with a river cruise into the park, with an opportunity to see a host of waders and water birds along with the ever present crocodiles and lurking hippos. Chobe is renowned for scores of large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink – most notably African buffalo and elephant. On the island, Puku and Lechwe are often seen and on the banks of kudu, impala and water buck are common. Complimentary soft drinks are included on the boat, as well as tea and coffee and a light snack prior to guest’s activity. After the cruise a satisfying lunch is served at the Chobe Safari Lodge. After lunch break, we head off on a game drive – getting close to nature with specially adapted open 4 x 4 vehicles. Frequent lion sightings occur in Chobe, Eland, Sable, and Roan antelope are common at certain times of the year. Leopards are elusive but common in the area – you may be lucky! Drives are typically along the waterfront where game congregates to quench their thirst, with Lions often lying in wait or just dozing in the shade.
