Our day in Chobe National Park.

Chobe National Park stole my heart years ago and it still holds the most special part. Nature our guide in the park was awesome and we even saw the elusive leopard. Large our guide on the river was also great and as he knew we were bird fans he stopped for so many different species.
Incredible experience despite the chaos

Chobe National Park was one of the most incredible places I’ve visited! We saw hundreds of elephants and dozens of other animals including a pride of lionesses up close. Lunch was included and was surprisingly good and the boat tour was a nice relaxing way to spend the other half of the day watching hippos and more elephants. The whole area is just so stunning and filled with wildlife. However, this tour definitely is one of those large tour groups that sometimes can feel disorganized and impersonal. You get picked up by a separate driver that will then hand you off to another driver at the border. At the end of the tour, we were shuttled from the lodge where you have lunch and the boat tour back to the border. This process was a bit chaotic as the instructions were unclear and everyone was confused on which vehicle to get on. The border crossing into Botswana took two hours (which the guides did say was unusually long) but we were picked up from our hotel in Livingstone at 6:30am and didn’t begin the safari drive until 10:00am. However I did appreciate the guides making a strong effort to expedite the process and they ended up pulling us out of the line to a dedicated line for tourists going to a safari. The safari drive itself felt rushed. If it wasn’t for us and the other people in the group we would’ve missed so many animal sightings because the driver was zooming until we pointed out that we saw animals nearby. Despite that, it was still a great experience because of how there was so much wildlife everywhere. You look left and right at any given minute and there was something to see. The highlight was this large meadow that you drive down to and you can see herds of elephants as far as the eyes can see. Despite the chaos, I still recommend this tour. The guides were friendly and tried their best to make the experience good. Understandably for this price point, you won’t get too much of a personalized experience so keep that in mind. Again, the national park is teeming with wildlife and is a must do.
Fun and memorable.

The weather was the beginning of the rainy season so animals were difficult to find. The guides were great and entertaining and pointed out what was available. The boat trip was wonderful with lots of hippos and water fowl.

What an amazing experience. Achieved a life time goal of seeing a lion close up in its own natural environment.

Pleasant and eventful journey. Overall it is an exciting adventure, where one gets to see and learn a lot about the wildlife. The trip includes a ride in the park and a cruise on a motorboat. This way people get to see the spectacular park from all possible angles. I would definitely recommend taking this one, time well spent!
Amazing Day in Chobe!

Loved Chobe! Going through immigration was smooth, and all the guides made this tour amazing! As soon as we got to the park, after about 5 minutes of driving, a leopard walked out of the bushes, such a beautiful animal!! I would've been fine going home after that. We drove around for a couple of hours and saw lions, giraffes, impalas, lots of elephants, and had a couple of velvet monkeys jump in the vehicle lol....hide your food! After the safari, we had lunch at near by lodge, very good! After lunch it was off to the river safari! Saw tons of hippos, crocs, elephants, and buffalo. A day in Chobe is a must! I highly recommend this tour!
More elephants than we’ve...

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!

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 day in Chobe!

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 .
