More elephants than we’ve ever seen before in large family herds - seen from both car & boat. Plenty of buffalo, hippos & crocodiles seen from boat. Sable antelopes were spectacular.

Amazing day! Convenient, helpful, and friendly transport with pick up and drop off by David., With changes from dry to rainy season, we’re told could be 50/50 in seeing animals depending on what weather did. We saw nearly every animal we hoped! Lions, elephants, giraffe, buffalo, hippo, impala (lots!) and more. Our guide Joe was amazing, flexible, and went beyond expectation to enable us to see them. Boat ride with driver Large was also special, with up close croc pics, buffalo and lots of hippos and birds. Food and drinks were very good.

Great trip! The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. All of the travel was very easy and went smoothly. The time of year was definitely not ideal as it had just started to rain, so there were no elephants to be found at all since they find their water elsewhere. The guides worked so hard to find us some cool animals and we got to see lions, hippos, buffalos, impalas, crocodiles, etc. The lunch was at a really cool hotel and was delicious! All of the guides are so knowledgeable and made this a great experience!

It would have been 5 out of 5 if we had been picked up. But they forgot us . If it hadn’t been for Customer Service at Elephant Hills Resort getting in touch with the company via email we would have missed out. No one answered the company’s “all hours” phone .

Had a really great time exploring Chobe with HSM Adventures! I was picked up from my hotel and with another solo traveler, drove to the Botswana border where their drive picked us up, drove us around Chobe and in the afternoon did a river tour. Would highly recommend doing this safari for anyone in the area!

We were picked up punctually at 06:40, from Radisson Blu Mosi-Oa-Tunya it took 1.5 hours bus to the border. The formalities were fixed, the driver helped us. In Botswana on the border we were picked up by 2 guides and in about 30 min we were in the Chobe. The safari went along the Chobe River and a bit inland. We have seen many animals: Elephants, monkeys, impalas, kudus, giraffes, hippos and as a highlight lions. It was great! Lunch was served at 13:00 at a hotel on the Chobe River. It was delicious and something of everything: Fish, beets, chicken, rice, vegetables, salads, sauces. From there we went straight to the boat. Also the boat tour was great. There were hippos on land and in the water, herds of elephants, a herd of buffalo, herds of impala and a giant crocodile. The ride was over way too fast. The return trip to Livingstone went well and our driver took us there to a local restaurant. A successful conclusion!
