It was an amazing trip and the service from Collins were excellent. The pickup from our Protea hotel in Livingston was on time and he helped us at the border with Botswana adn when we returned to Zambia in the afternoon. We did a morning boat trip into the Chobe National Park, we saw a lot of animals e.g. elephants and hippos, lost of birds, it was a brilliant way to see the animals.

I will highly recommend this trip for anybody in Livingston that want to do a day trip to Chobe, it is an experience you will not forget and the service is world class.

Morning started with a smooth pick up by Collins at our Livingstone Hotel, driven to the Kasane border post where we were handed over to our Botswana driver who escorted us through migration. Our tour departed from the Chobe Marina Lodge (where we also enjoyed lunch). We started with the boat cruise that allows you get up really close to the animals on the shore (saw hippos, elephants, impala, crocodile). Following lunch we took a safari viewing vehicle into the Chobe National Park for more game viewing. At the end of the day, we are driven back to the Botswana border where Collins met us and drove us back to Livingstone. Chobe game reserve is well worth visiting and this tour makes the experience effortless. It is highly recommended. Neil
