Chobe River Safari & Game Viewing

Start the morning with a game drive through Chobe National Park, exploring a river-shaped landscape with a high concentration of wildlife.

In the afternoon, continue with a slower-paced sunset cruise along the Chobe River. Travelling through reed-lined channels and open floodplains offers a different perspective of the park. Common sightings include elephants at the riverbank, hippos surfacing in the water, and a variety of birdlife as the day ends.

Return to camp after the day’s activities and spend the evening relaxing around the campfire before dinner.
