After your flight lands, you'll be greeted by our safari representative, who will assist with your luggage and transfer arrangements. Enjoy a short drive to the Chobe Safari Lodge, along the Chobe River. This area is renowned for its rich wildlife and scenic views.

Once at the lodge, you'll have time to check in and freshen up. Enjoy a welcome drink and a brief orientation. Head out on your first game drive along the Chobe Riverfront. This is prime time to see elephants, buffalo, hippos, and a variety of bird species. Your experienced guide will share insights about the wildlife and ecosystems.

Return to the lodge in the early evening. Take some time to relax, perhaps with a dip in the pool or a quiet moment on your private terrace overlooking the river. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner featuring local and international cuisine. Afterwards, indulge in some stargazing—Botswana’s clear skies offer spectacular views of the stars.

After a leisurely lunch and some relaxation, embark on an evening boat cruise along the Chobe River, where you can witness elephants and crocodiles as the sun sets. On the second day, kick off with a morning boat cruise to enjoy a different perspective, looking out for diverse birdlife. Follow this with an afternoon game drive on varied routes to capture stunning photos of the scenery and wildlife. Each activity offers an experience of the park's rich ecosystem.

We have also included a return transfer for a full day to Victoria Falls that you join - very exciting!

Conclude each day with a delightful dinner under the stars.
