Chobe River Safari: Super convenient booking, excellent service, enjoyable game viewing
We booked a 1/2 day river Chobe River safari via Savannah Adventures. The booking was made barely 2 days before the trip and we were not sure whether we would be able to get the safari in. Savvanah's team was great in terms of coordinating the booking and making sure we got to go.
On the morning of our safari, we were picked up by Taf from our hotel in Victoria Falls on time in a clean and comfortable van and driven to the Botswana border, where Taf helped us with immigration formalities and then to find our transport to Chobe River. Our boat driver and guide, Mike, was very friendly and super knowledgeable and helped us see hippos, elephants, buffalos and other game and birds. We had an especially memorable elephant sighting with a herd of more than 50 elephants barely 50 feet from our boat.
The ride back was on time, quick and comfortable and we were left with several hours of sunlight to enjoy other activities in Victoria Falls.
Since we had a few clothes and shoes to donate to a local orphanage that Savannah Adventures supports in Victoria Falls, one of their team came to pick us up the next morning so we could go visit the children staying there and give them the items we had with us. This added experience was invaluable for us.
Many thanks Matthias and Taf for making our time in Victoria Falls so much richer.

Operator that delivers personalized, unforgettable experiences with passionate local guides
We had an outstanding experience with Savannah Adventures during our stay in Victoria Falls. Conveniently based at the N1 Hotel, where we were staying, they made organizing our activities and airport transfers seamless and stress-free.
We booked all our excursions through them (extended private 1-day Chobe safari + Quadripoint, Livingstone +Mukumi village, airport transfers), and every detail was handled with professionalism and care. The absolute highlight was our extended private Chobe safari—yes, it’s on the pricier side, but worth every penny. From start to finish, the day was unforgettable.
Our driver Eddie got us to the border smoothly, and then Richard, our safari guide, took over with incredible energy and expertise. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, and his passion for the bush truly made our first safari magical. KK led the water safari portion with equal enthusiasm, rounding out a day that felt both adventurous and personal.
Savannah Adventures combines local knowledge with top-tier service. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls and want a hassle-free, memorable safari experience, this is the team to trust.

Our dealings with Matthias Dohling, Savannah Adventures Marketing Director, were fabulous.
My wife and I booked a trip to Victoria Falls. About four months before we left we booked a Chobe Quadripoint day trip with Savannah Adventures. Living in the USA we were nervous about Africa scams, but read the reviews and booked the day trip anyway and sent our deposit. While in Africa we were notified by Savannah Adventures that the Zambezi River was too low and we could not visit the Quadripoint, but they would extend other aspects of the trip to make up for it. We were disappointed, and decided not to go on the day trip. We asked for a refund of our deposit, and to our VERY pleasant surprise, Savannah Adventures immediately refunded our deposit. I would highly recommend this company. They are legit and have a lot of integrity.

We found Savannah Adventures to be very professional & the best at offering adventurous & unique tours at economical prices. They always arrived early for all our tours & prepared for the day! All the tours we took (helicopter, train, boat & land safaris) were outstanding, beautiful & exciting & we have the pictures to prove it! We look forward to booking more tours with them in the future!

Clear choice for value and reliability in Victoria Falls.
I booked four tours and airport transfers in the Victoria Falls area through Savannah. They were responsive and offered the best value for money among all the options I explored. The choice was clear—and I’d definitely recommend them.

A totally professional, friendly, responsive and friendly operator.
We were a family of four travelling from UK to Victoria Falls. We stayed at N1 and wanted to make the most of our 11 days in Victoria Falls. We contacted Savannah Adventures and they immediately were responsive. They helped me compile an itinerary whilst in the UK. We paid cash upon arrival at N1. It was a simple and safe way of doing business. The game drives, and othe activities arranged by Savannah Adventures were superb. As well as the spectacular Falls, we saw countless animals, including rhino and lion. Everything went smoothly and has left us with best memories to last a lifetime. I even received a WhatsApp call in the UK from Savannah Adventures to go over everything. So professional. (One thing to remember if you are taking a child under 18 into Botswana, you need child's birth certificate. Savannah Adventures DID tell me but I forgot (fortunately I knew where it was and got a neighbour who keeps a key to go photograph it and WhatsApp it to me, so all was sorted in the end!). I would most definitely recommend Savannah Adventures to any of my friends who wish to travel to Zimbabwe.

Well organized tour with great guides.
My husband and I had an amazing day on our tour from Victoria Falls to Chobe. We were able to choose the activities we wanted (game drive, fishing, visit to the quadripoint) and everything was well coordinated. Pickup was on time, and our driver to the border, Eddy, was great to chat with and shared tons of info. He also kindly stopped for us to see animals. The game drive with Richard was incredible. We saw lions, a leopard, impala, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and more. We also did a quick fishing trip and then walked over the bridge to the quadripoint. I definitely recommend this company.
