Short Safari Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park

You receive a friendly greeting from your transfer driver upon your arrival at the Victoria Falls airport. After a short drive, you reach your accommodation, and you have the rest of the day to spend at your leisure. You could use the time to visit the Victoria Falls (optional). With an impressive width of over 1,7 Kilometres, the Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. Its waters’ crash down approximately 110 Meters, creating an amazing natural spectacle. At times, when the water level is particularly high, the spray mist created by the falls can reach up to 30 Metres and is visible from a distance. Little surprise then that the Victoria Falls is also referred to as “Mosi oa Tunya” which literally means “the smoke that thunders”. You spend the night at The Elephant Camp (Comfort) or Pioneers Guest Lodge (Standard).

If you preferred relaxing from your travels yesterday and did not get to visit the imposing Victoria Falls, then today you have enough time to do so and more. Especially for the adventurers at heart, Victoria Falls has a lot to offer. Often referred to as the “Africa’s Adventure Capital”, at the Victoria Falls you can bungee jump, go white-water rafting or take a flight in a helicopter or a microlight aeroplane over the beautiful Falls. Or perhaps you would like to simply take a relaxing walk through the luscious rainforest located next to the Falls? You can also go on a lovely sundowner boat cruise on the Zambezi River or explore the small town of Victoria Falls and visit the wood carver’s market (all activities optional). In the evening, you spend another night at The Elephant Camp (Comfort) or the Pioneers Guest Lodge (Standard).

After a relaxed breakfast, today’s journey on your Chobe and Victoria Falls tour takes you across Zimbabwe’s border with Botswana. A transfer driver will meet you and take you past Kasane, straight towards the Chobe Forest Reserve. Enjoy a tasty lunch, before you go on your first game drive in one of the most species-rich parks in Southern Africa, the Chobe National Park. The Chobe National Park is especially well known for its large elephant population and the mighty Chobe River is the park’s lifeblood. With some luck you can encounter lions, cheetahs, leopards, many various antelope species, zebras, giraffes as well as the iconic Chobe elephants on your game drive today. Either way, you can look forward to many wonderful moments in Botswana’s pristine nature. You overnight in the Ngoma Safari Lodge (Comfort) or Chobe Elephant Camp (Standard).

You have another exciting, safari-filled day ahead of you, as you have the option to go on more game drives in the oldest national park in Botswana. Alongside an experienced guide and in an open-view safari vehicle, you explore the beautiful wilderness of the Chobe National Park once more. Perhaps you will encounter a wildlife sighting today which you missed yesterday. You never can tell what awaits you on safari. Alternatively, you can go on a boat cruise on the Chobe River and marvel at the different animals as the come to the river’s edge and refresh themselves in the river’s cool waters. On a guided bush walk, you can observe the smaller members of Botswana’s fantastic ecosystem more closely. You also have the option of visiting a nearby local village, where you can get a glimpse into the day-to-day life of many of Botswana’s inhabitants. You spend another night at the Ngoma Safari Lodge (Comfort) or Chobe Elephant Camp (Standard).

Time permitting, perhaps you can go on one more, early morning game drive in the Chobe National Park today. Then after a delicious breakfast, your Chobe and Victoria Falls tour comes to an end. Your transfer driver will bring you to the airport in Kasane.
