    What you'll see and do

    1. Chobe National Park

      This is a full-day game viewing safari in the Chobe National Park with a difference. Because you are picked up earlier, this is the choicest time to encounter some of the big cats and nocturnal animals on the 1-hour drive to the border through the Zambezi National Park. You will be at the Chobe National Park`s gate slightly before 6:30am to start the day with half-day game drive in the park. This is the best time to see big cats, as they will still be active and hunting. The drive will continue until your break for lunch about noon. Lunch will be at the Chobe Safari Lodge (served buffet style) and after lunch, you will have some time to relax before the afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River. This is a 3-hour cruise starting in the afternoon and ending about sunset. The cruise affords a chance to encounter many types of birds and other wildlife as they visit the river for a last drink of the day, and of course, the African sunset from your boat on river. You will be at the Zimbabwe border around 7:00pm for the 45 mile (70km) transfer to your Victoria Falls hotel. Again, this is a great time to see the cats of the Zambezi National Park, as they will be out and hunting. You will be back to your hotel around 8:00pm.

    Worth Every Moment – Extended Trip

    The extended trip was absolutely worth it. DK Tour was organized very professionally. Our guides, Owen and LT, were fantastic—especially LT, who went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much as possible and explained the wildlife with great expertise. We wouldn’t have experienced so much without the extended trip. lunch was delicious. The sunset cruise was the perfect, relaxing finish.

    Great day out

    Great day out. Our transfer driver Enock was great, it was like we started the game drive when we got picked up. Saw 3 different animals before the border. Cobra the Game driver guide is a Legend for finding the animals! Saw so much. Lunch was lovely, afternoon cruise was great.

    Great experience

    We took a private tour (Me and my 13yr old girl and the driver). Highly recommend since deciding what to spend time looking at vs moving on is a big deal and doing that with 7 other people with varying perspective/goals is hard. We covered a ton of ground and opted to stay in the park for 2hrs longer and see more animals and enjoy the park. We saw lion, elephant, kudu, buffalo, huge crocodiles, hippos, warthogs and giraffe it was awesome and weather was perfect all day (warm breeze 80degrees sunny clear skies).

    Must do Chobe - this tour could be better.

    Chobe national park is a must do. Very different scenery from other parks but animals and birds are plentiful. This tour was a mixed bag. Transport from Victoria falls to border was comfortable in a mini van including a bagged breakfast. Tick Entering Botswana we were collected in an open safari jeep to travel 20 minutes to the park entrance. The jeep was old and lacked suspension and definitely not appropriate for open road travel. Very uncomfortable. On entering the park our guide at times was excellent, at other times poor. He did prioritise and found a leopard. Tick. At other times he raced passed photo opportunities of animals and lookouts over the river for no apparent reason (often passing other jeeps that had stopped). Occasionally we were able to get his attentuon but it was hard to communicate in the style of jeep. Disappointing. (Other jeeps in the park were different design and newer). Lunch was a buffet - good was fine without being exceptional. River safari (not a cruise) in a small boat was the highlight. Large was a great guide and captain. He menouved the boat understanding the best position and light for photos (including a very nice sunset where he positioned with three trees in the foreground). Big tick. In summary - the jeep needs retiring, the guide needs more understanding of his clients requirements. Chobe us a must but maybe there are better tour options.

    Chobe Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chobe Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe cost?

    +

    Prices start at $265 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 Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 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 Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 54 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 Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe?

    +

    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 Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe?

    +

    Around 19 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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe Extended Day Trip from Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe 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?

    +

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.
