Overview

This is a unique opportunity for quests of the Chobe National Park to experience some of the best game viewing in Africa close up.

Chobe is renowned for large herbivores – like buffalo and elephant – wading in the water and having a drink. Puku and lechwe are often seen on the island and kudu, impala and water buck are also common on the banks of the river.

The Boat Cruise & Game Drive trip typically starts with a Chobe River cruise into the park, with an opportunity to see a host of waders and water birds. You can also expect the ever-present crocodiles and lurking hippos.

A boat cruise is the ideal opportunity to relax, sit back and see the animals come to you. They are less disturbed by the sound of a boat and more relaxed, as the water is the one place where all the species need to go. Sometimes you can see many species of predators and herbivores at the river together!

Guests enjoy lunch at a restaurant before setting of on a game drive in the afternoon. This gives you the opportunity to learn more about the bush and the wildlife that roam here. A special treat is the frequent lion sightings in Chobe. At certain times of year you can easily spot eland, sable and roan antelope. Leopards are elusive but common in the area — so you may be lucky!

This is the experience of a lifetime.
