    Excellent Tours and Guides

    Our Guide was Eddie throughout our stay in Zimbabwe and he drove us to the Botswana border and handed us into the care of Free and Major, our Jeep drivers/rangers for the Safari in Chobe NP. Eddie was an excellent caring guide and so were Free and Major. We were in a group of 16 from Australia and 1 from USA. Everything flowed smoothly and there were no hiccups. We were disappointed that we didnt see rhino or leopard during our safari of Chobe NP but nevertheless the other animals, especially the elephants did not disappoint us. Free and Major served us a lovely morning tea right in the heart of the NP. The buffet, lunch which was included, was also very nice and the safari cruise on the Chobe River was excellent.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest Thank you for such a kind review, and for sharing your Chobe experience with us. We are delighted that Eddie, Free and Major looked after your group so well, and that the morning tea, lunch and river cruise were highlights. We are sorry the leopard stayed hidden this time. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but the elephants put on a good show. I have passed your compliments on to the whole team. We would love to welcome you back to Victoria Falls and Chobe, and perhaps next time the leopard will make an appearance! Regards Africa Travel Tours

    A great day at Chobe

    We drove to Chobe from our base in Victoria Falls. It was an interesting drive. Once we went through the border we boarded our Safari vehicle. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of animals but no lions. Our lunch was included and very good. It also included a boat cruise so again lots of animals.

    Chobe Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.

    How much does Chobe Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $201 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chobe Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.

    Is Chobe Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chobe Day Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chobe Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe Day Trip?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe Day Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Chobe Day Trip?

    +

    Included: Transfers , Boat Cruise , Game Drive , Park Fees, Water and Lunch; Return Transfers; and Park Fees. Not included: Drinks , Wines , Visa , Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chobe Day Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 24 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chobe Day Trip offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chobe Day Trip?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Chobe Day Trip wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Chobe Day Trip if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
