It was amazing The driver was friendly Snacks given on the way and where we had lunch was exceptional- lots of options offers and tasty

It’s great to know you enjoyed the friendly service from your driver, the snacks along the way, and the delicious lunch with plenty of options. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
Amazing experience to Botswana. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in Livingstone Zambia and were transported to the Botswana border which was about 1 hour along the Mosi-Oa Tunya National Park route. Once we arrived at the Botswana border, we were able to get our passports stamped and then transfer to a safari vehicle where we completed the land safari portion of the tour. On the land safari, we were able to see lots of impalas, elephants, giraffes, hippos, and different species of birds. We followed up with a delicious lunch in Kasane Botswana in a village which was so cool. We then went on the river safari portion of the tour which was my favorite. I got to see so many animals up close on the Chobe River including crocodiles, birds, and herds of elephants swimming in the Chobe River. An amazing tour from beginning to end.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience exploring Chobe National Park with us. It’s great to know you enjoyed both the game drive and the river safari, and that you were able to see such an incredible variety of wildlife. We’re especially happy the boat safari on the Chobe River was the highlight of your day. Thank you for choosing us and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Zambia, Botswana, or Zimbabwe in the future! Safe travels!
The river safari is way too short, at most 1 hour near the Chobe national park. We saw very few elephants and the boat was too far from those elephants. Not recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I sincerely apologize that your river safari did not meet your expectations. Our river safari normally lasts for more than one hour, so I’m not sure what happened on the day of your tour. I will follow up with our partner to understand why the trip was shorter than usual and address the issue. We’re truly sorry that you saw fewer elephants than expected and that the boat was not able to get closer to the wildlife. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointment.
My husband and I had just done Kruger National Park and wanted to try a different safari in another country to compare. This one day option in Botswana was perfect and did not break the bank! Breakdown of the day below: 1) Given the cost, this is not a private tour. We were picked up in a van with two other couples/families on time and had to go through border formalities - the drive to the border was 1 hour+ and the border process was fairly quick, maybe 20 minutes given no lines. 2) We switched vehicles across the border and hopped on an open air safari vehicle and immediately drove to Chobe National Park. It was a 3 hour land safari and we saw a lion and two cubs, giraffes, elephants, baboons, a lilac breasted bird, and much more! 3) The open air vehicle then took us directly to lunch. It was a buffet lunch with rice, chicken, beef, fish and vegetables. The lunch was ok but did the job! Note that the drinks are not free there but you can get free water on the safari and take it to lunch with you. 4) We were then transported to the river cruise. This fit ~20 people. We got incredibly close to elephants! We watched them swim across the river and I even got a picture right in front of the elephant. We also saw hippos, buffalo, and crocodiles very close. 5) We were then transported back to the border, same border formalities as before. And then an hour or so drive back to the hotel to be dropped off. Shout out to our land guide Wilson and our river guide Tao. Both were great and very knowledgeable! I saw just as much, if not more animals than I did in Kruger and this was a cheaper option as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your Chobe Day Trip! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic experience. It’s wonderful to know that our Botswana safari exceeded your expectations and compared so well with your visit to Kruger National Park. We’re especially pleased that you enjoyed both the game drive and the river cruise, with such incredible wildlife sightings throughout the day. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments on to Wilson and Tao—they’ll be thrilled to know they made your experience so memorable. Thank you once again for choosing us and for recommending our tour. We hope to welcome you back to Victoria Falls for more unforgettable adventures in the future!
The safari today was absolutely amazing! Our guide Wilson was very knowledgeable, funny and tried best to find lions during our trip... which we did. However, the boat tour was even better! OMG! We're very impressed on seeing swimming elephants and the beauty around. The Chobe National Park is just amazing and must see on your visit in Zambia, Zimbabwe or Botswana. FYI, we had our pick up from Livingstone in Zambia, 1h drive to the border. Got help through the border checks, then switched cars and had 20mins drive to the park. Next 3h wildlife viewing drive, lunch and 2.5h boat cruise. Next drive back to the border, and to Livingstone. The only thing worth also nothing that any drinks, including water are charged at the lunch, so grab one from the car if don't want to spend money.

I highly recommend experiencing Chobe National Park. It is an amazing setting to see the animals in, both by land and water. The pick up and transfer to and from my hotel in Zambia to the park in Botswana was great. On time smooth transfer with friendly helpful staff that helps you through border crossings and getting you with the park tours. There was a bit of a hiccup with getting started with the initial game drive, but that was not the fault of this company and they worked it out and made it right. The river portion of the safari was incredible. There was great animal viewing on both land and water.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Chobe National Park experience and that the transfers, border assistance, and overall organization met your expectations.

Our guides Vincent and Large were both excellent and very knowledgeable. This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We were lucky enough to see lion, elephants, giraffe, hippos and crocodiles. We also saw lots of impala, wart hogs, jackal, lilac breasted kula, African fish eagle, monitor lizard, kingfisher, and other wild fowl. Lunch at the lodge was very good, the whole trip was very well organised, tan smoothly and to time. Pickups from and to our hotel were also punctual and the driver was very polite.

We had a wonderful day with HSM Adventures on this tour. The wildlife was phenomenal, the scenery was spectacular, and we made fantastic friends, including with David, our driver, who engaged us in conversations about Zambian culture, history, customs, and life. He was an amazing driver and so mature for his age - we truly cannot wait to see what he's going to do with his career in tourism. He's going to be amazing! We also appreciated how, in general, the day was well-organized and our next steps were clearly communicated. Immigration at the border didn't take nearly as much time as I expected and the process was very smooth. A few notes to those reading these reviews: 1. Many tour groups come to the same room to eat a buffet lunch at the luxury lodge. It was very loud and difficult to hear the host's instructions about beverages - what I heard was "included." I misheard - coffee and tea are included, but soft drinks, water, and alcoholic beverages are not. When waiters came around taking drink orders, everyone began ordering and we followed suit. We should've clarified, and while the cost wasn't horrendous, $3 for a sprite and $2 for water is overpriced, and this is coming from someone living in the NYC region. It also wasn't a necessary purchase since the game drive driver stopped halfway to give us a snack of crisps and soft drinks/water, and the boat tour operator also had a cooler full of soft drinks/water for free. Just keep this in mind if you're trying to avoid unnecessary expenditures. I recommend that management make this clearer to guests upfront and consider offering coolers of soft drinks/water in the cars that transport guests from Livingstone to the Botswana border and back. 2. We came in May and it was much cooler than we expected in the morning. The game drive truck had blankets (bless!), but wearing long pants and a warm jacket is advised. 3. Having visited Kruger National Park a few days earlier, where driving is strictly confined to designated tar and gravel roads, we were appalled that the game drive drivers we experienced/witnessed in Chobe National Park all went on prohibited land just to get us closer to wildlife... While we love photography and the chance to get a closer photograph of lions was thrilling, we were deeply troubled by the drivers' actions. Driving on the grass to approach wildlife felt wrong and at one point, six drivers circled their trucks around a group of seven lionesses. The lionesses were noticeably uncomfortable and began huddling closer together until a path outside of this circle was created. This came across as very disrespectful to the wildlife, but I can't fault the drivers completely because visitors and their expectations of what to see on a game drive are likely partially complicit. I strongly urge management to discourage such behavior from drivers and empower them to remind visitors that what they see is dependent upon what the wildlife chooses to do that day... And as visitors, please humbly accept the rules of national parks and tame your expectations. Off-roading in a private game reserve is different, and we truly felt sorry for the animals that were intimidated.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had a wonderful day with HSM Adventures and that you enjoyed the incredible wildlife, scenery, and overall experience. It is especially rewarding to hear your kind words about David. We are very proud of him and his passion for tourism, and we will be sure to share your comments with him. Your encouragement means a lot and will certainly motivate him further. We are also pleased that you found the day well organized and that communication throughout the trip was clear and smooth, including the border crossing process. We sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback as well. Your comments regarding the lunch beverage arrangements are valuable, and we understand how the instructions could have been clearer. We will review how this information is communicated to guests before and during the trip to help avoid any misunderstandings. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding additional refreshments during transfers and will consider ways to improve the guest experience. Thank you as well for sharing helpful travel tips for future guests regarding the cooler temperatures during the mornings — these insights are always valuable. Regarding your observations about wildlife viewing practices, we genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Responsible tourism and respect for wildlife are values we take very seriously. We understand your concerns and agree that wildlife experiences should always prioritize the well-being of the animals and respect for park regulations. We will raise this feedback with our operating partners and continue encouraging ethical wildlife viewing practices that balance guest experiences with conservation responsibilities. Thank you once again for choosing HSM Adventures and for sharing both your wonderful experiences and thoughtful suggestions. We hope to welcome you back again in the future for more unforgettable adventures.

It was done by another company. Not HSM adventure and Safari. I have enjoy it and was done very professional by the other company.
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that it was handled professionally. That’s actually how the tourism industry works here. It doesn’t matter whether you book from Zambia or Zimbabwe, most tour operators work together with trusted partner companies in neighboring countries, especially for cross-border activities. It’s similar to booking through platforms like Viator or GetYourGuide , the platform itself does not operate the tour directly, but works with local partner tour companies on the ground. So this is a normal system within the tourism industry, and we always work with professional and reliable partners to make sure our clients have the best experience possible. We truly appreciate your support and are glad you had a great experience.
