Day 4

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park

Guests are woken up as early as 6:30 am with warm water for them to freshen up and a refreshing “dumela” greeting (good day). After a quick cup of tea or coffee and a light continental-style breakfast, head off on an early morning game drive. This time of day is best for finding the big cats or wild dogs as they are still active at this time and the chances of seeing them are good. Around mid to late morning, guests return to the camp for a delicious “bush lunch” and an opportunity to take a break before their afternoon boat cruise. At around 6:00 pm, all clients will be back at the camp and have a refreshing shower preparing for their supper.
