Full Day Tour to Chobe National Park and Botswana

Chobe National Park Day Trip Offers River Safari and Game Drive from Livingstone

A full-day safari from Livingstone to Botswana’s Chobe National Park combines a scenic cross-border journey with exceptional wildlife viewing by both land and water. The adventure begins with early morning hotel pick-up, followed by a drive to Kazungula, where travelers complete immigration formalities after crossing the modern Kazungula Bridge linking Zambia and Botswana.

After arriving in Botswana, guests receive a short briefing before beginning the day’s activities. Depending on the schedule, the experience starts with either an open-vehicle game drive through Chobe National Park or a river safari cruise on the renowned Chobe River, with the second activity taking place later in the day following lunch.

The Chobe River is celebrated for supporting one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, offering excellent opportunities to observe elephants gathering along the shoreline. The river safari also provides close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, and an impressive variety of birdlife, while the surrounding floodplains attract numerous other wildlife species throughout the day.

A freshly prepared buffet lunch is served at a riverside lodge before the adventure continues. Traveling in an open-sided safari vehicle ensures uninterrupted panoramic views, increasing the chances of spotting iconic African wildlife such as elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, and a range of antelope species. Together, the river cruise and game drive create a well-rounded safari experience showcasing the remarkable biodiversity of Botswana’s Chobe ecosystem.
