Cherish did a phenomenal job of arranging, planning, and ensuring the day went well. I really enjoyed all of the various guides, from drivers to rangers to the boat captain. They were all informative, professional, and highly insightful. I also appreciated that the guides help you at the border (if you need to cross for Chobe), so that it was a stress-free process. Overall, highly recommend - for groups or solos.

It was great experience, the drivers were on time and very professional especially Mwangelwa, the Cherish tour guide from Zambia to Botswana border. He is very good and treated with utmost respect. I recommend and Cherish Travel if you want to create unforgettable Chobe memories.

He will be very happy to know his respect and dedication made your journey memorable. Thank you for recommending Cherish Travel—we’re honored to be part of your unforgettable Chobe memories!
We took several tours during our stay in Livingstone, Zambia and this was one of our top if not the top favorite. Both our pickup driver and tour driver were incredibly kind, informative and friendly. On our water and land tour we saw so much wildlife and we didnt once feel rushed to move along. We were able to take many photos and learn about the animals. This was a top experience for us and one we still talk about today. I cant remember the tour guides name but he was great and so was our shuttle driver Juan Guillerjuan (sp). Highly recommend.
We booked all our activities through Cherish Travel for our holiday in Zambia, August 2025 which included a trip to Chobe, fishing on the Zambezi, steam train, devils pool, horse riding and Mukuni boma. The team were very professional, polite and punctual. We highly recommend them and can honestly say we couldn’t have had a better tour operator. Well done guys and please keep it up.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad you had a great time in Zambia and enjoyed all the activities. It means a lot to hear your kind words about our team. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon! – The Cherish Travel Team
It was an excellent experience! Our guide Mwangelwa, whom we affectionately nicknamed Miguel, was an excellent professional throughout the journey. Inside the part you can see a large number of animals, and having the experience of safari with the boat allows you to see even more animals in their respective habitats. I super recommend this tour!
Obrigado pelas suas amáveis palavras! Estamos felizes por ter tido uma ótima experiência com Mwangelwa (Miguel) e por ter gostado do safari – principalmente do passeio de barco. Nós realmente apreciamos a sua recomendação!
Great trip! Our guides were helpful. We saw so many animals, and had close up encounters with many. Both the boat tour and the game drive were exciting, and lunch was good as well. Be aware that if you don't bring water with you, you will have to pay for your beverages at lunch.
Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad to hear you had an exciting experience on both the boat tour and the game drive—and that you enjoyed lunch too. It’s always a thrill to have those close-up encounters with wildlife, and we’re happy our guides helped make the trip memorable. Thanks as well for pointing out the note about water at lunch—that’s helpful advice for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Disappointing. Three hours travel from hotel pick up to the lodge in Chobe! Very large group so always waiting around for everyone to arrive. Staff were nice but seriously, 11 hour tour of which 6 was transport and immigration. We should have insisted on booking a more private/intimate tour.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that the day didn’t meet your expectations. We completely understand how frustrating it can be to spend a large portion of the tour in transit and waiting on a group—especially when you're excited to explore and experience more on the ground. While we're glad to hear our staff were kind and helpful, we also appreciate your honest comments about the group size and travel time. Your input is valuable and helps us improve the overall experience for our guests. For those seeking a more personalized and relaxed pace, a private or smaller group tour can indeed make a big difference, and we’ll be sure to make that clearer during the booking process. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future—with a tour that better suits your travel style. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
