It was an amazing experience! We saw so many elephants—over 100—and even saw elephants crossing the road on our way from Zimbabwe to Chobe and back. It was such a cool safari experience, combining both the game drive and the boat safari. The boat tour was fabulous, and our driver was very knowledgeable and informative. He gave us plenty of time to stop for pictures and was happy to answer our questions. The pickup and drop-off at our Airbnb were also efficient and right on time. One observation was that the safari vehicle was full with 10 people. Several people, including me, had to sit in the middle seats, while one person had to sit up front with the driver and was unable to stand. This seems to be fairly normal for safaris in Botswana, although I have experienced smaller groups and more spacious vehicles on safaris in Kenya. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this experience. Seeing so many elephants from both the vehicle and the boat was truly unforgettable!

Must do
One will be pick up from hotel, help with crossing the borders, experienced guides and great time. We stayed in Zimbabwe and had been picked up from the hotel. The taxi drivers does not cross the border but they are wonderfly organised and helpful with customs. So, from Zimbabwe, over Zambia to Botswana, this people knows what they are doing. Also, the boat sail and lunch were amazing.

African Adventure
We were in a group of 2 families and were welcomed by Kudzie who had to juggle the itineraries of both groups. We appreciated his all round traits as he also had to be a wildlife guide and we contacted him frequently on whatsap and got restaurant recommendations and supermarket stops from him.

Highly Recommended but be prepared
This was a great option for a day trip from Victoria Falls. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the safari game drive in Chobe National Park. We saw tons of elephants, antelopes, graffitis, hippos, buffalos, and varies of birds. We only saw one lioness. The river cruise was a bit less exciting but still a great relaxing experience. I was very impressed with the lunch buffet included. There were a fair number of options available which as grilled chicken, beef stew, roasted vegetables, a variety of salads, rice, grilled fish, and other sides and desserts. Drinks aren’t included. The only drawback was the van that transported us to and from the border of Botswana was completely full so you will be in very close proximity to others. This wouldn’t have been a big deal ordinarily but at least 4 people in van were coughing and squeezing. One lady was had a terrible cough that was very concerning. This was out of the control of the tour company but I would recommend bring a mask just in case. Pro tip what to bring: - a small pair of binoculars - bring a hooded jacket - mask - sunblock (for the boat ride)

Incredible, core memories
Africa Zim travel had excellent communication and organization. They were the agents that connected us with Kalahari tours in Chobe. We had an incredible experience. We did the 3 Day 2 night safari trip. We would not hesitate to return and do it again. Everything was taken care of. The guide, Caleb, was very knowledgeable and kind. The team who prepared the tents and all the meals did a great job. Charity arranged all the transport on the Zim side and was very punctual. We thought this trip was extremely good value for money when you calculate everything that is included and involved. We saw lots of lions, elephants, hyena, wild dogs hunting; we saw everything! The two included boat trips excellent too, getting us close to all the animals on the shoreline and in the water. We will return and use this company again we highly recommend them.

The whole experience was...
The whole experience was wonderful! From pick-up/drop-off, to crossing the border into Botswana, to the actual safari itself, everything was seamless. Cobra, our safari guide, was excellent. We saw so many cool animal sightings that day, it was easily our favorite day of our trip.

Great views of animals
The tour guide on the Chobe safari was knowledgeable and easy to understand. Saw loins elephants crocodiles hippopotamus it was a great experience. The boat ride we viewed elephants crossing the river Cape buffalo grazing along the banks and hippos and crocodiles sunbathing. The trip was worth the boarder crossing hassle. Lunch was nice it was a good time I recommend it.

Good lunch
Safari experience was average. River safari 3 hours is unique but the land safari on Chobe national park was basic, 2 hours on early afternoon, not ideal, rushed experience. Lunch included was amazing for a tour
