CHOBE FULL DAY TRIP FROM ZIMBABWE OR ZAMBIA Experience two 3-hour activities in the famous Chobe National Park. Get the best of both worlds in specially adapted open 4x4s and by boat. This is a unique opportunity to experience some of the best game viewing in Africa close up. Guests are picked up from the border at 08h30, and transported to their first activity. The day typically starts with a river cruise into the park, with an opportunity to see a host of waders and water birds along with the ever present crocodiles and lurking hippos. Chobe is renowned for scores of large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink —most notably buffalo and elephant. On the island, Puku and Lechwe are often seen and on the banks kudu, impala and water buck are common. A complimentary soft drink is included on the boat, as well as tea and coffee and a light snack prior to guest’s activity. After the cruise a satisfying lunch is served at the Coffee Buzz restaurant. Bottled water, tea and coffee are included with lunch. After a one hour lunch break, guests head off on a game drive—getting close to nature with specially adapted open 4 x 4 vehicles. Frequent lion sightings occur in Chobe, and Eland, Sable, and Roan antelope are common at certain times of the year. Leopards are elusive but common in the area—you may be lucky! Drives are typically along the waterfront where game congregates to quench their thirst, with Lions often lying in wait or just dozing in the shade. Guests are provided with a complimentary soft drink while experiencing some of the best game viewing in Africa.
