Located in the north of the country, Chobe is Botswana's third largest park, has its main geographical features of lush flood plains and dense woodland of mahogany, teak and other hardwoods now largely reduced by heavy elephant pressure. The Chobe River which flows along the Northeast border of the park, is a major watering spot, especially in the dry season (May through October) for large breeding herds of elephants, as well as families of giraffe, sable and cape buffalo. The flood plains are the only place in Botswana where the puku antelope can be seen. Birding is also excellent here. Large numbers of carmine bee eaters are spotted in season. When in flood various species of stork, duck and other waterfowl flock to the area. This is likely Chobe's most visited section, in large part because of its proximity to the Victoria Falls. The town of Kasane, situated just downstream, is the most important town of the region and serves as the northern entrance to the park.

    Fantastic experience

    What a wonderful, full, action packed yet relaxed day. Our guide, Kingsley was the right mix of fun and informative. We saw amazing game at close proximity but felt safe. The lunch on the boat cruise is a must, excellent cooking by Ching. Sitting relaxing, eating excellent food, watching the Chobe and all its wildlife floating serenely by. From the booking, to the pick up anddrop off, we experienced professionalism and fun and excitement. We highly recommend using Flame of Africa for your tour. It is an experience you will never forget!

    Beat your guide ever in Chobe

    Rodger is the best tour guide that we have had at chobe. He takes the trouble to cater for us our lunch and set up a safari lunch for us. He is informative and thoughtful when taking care of us. We highly recommend having him for our tours and he’s been helpful in telling us the stories behind each sighting we get to see all the big 5 and more

    Response from the operator: It was a great pleasure hosting Istaf Khan and the family,we are happy to hear that they liked our service.We always be happy to host them again. We will also be happy to host their friends and families in case they visit Botswana Kasane. We will always do our best to make sure that our guests leave our country with a big smile 😊. We think you all for choosing Wild Africa Safaris Botswana number one safari company.

    Beautiful Chobe National Park and perfect professional service team!

    Perfect service team, professional quality! Even in the rainy season, we had a perfect experience! Chobe National Park is very beautiful, and we saw ten lions up close on the safari in the morning. On the afternoon boat trip, we not only saw many hippos up close, but also saw a crocodile! 🐊 This was the first time we saw a crocodile, and it was so close. It was a perfect experience, I would definitely recommend it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so so much for your excellent review,we thrive through your happiness and great experience.It was our pleasure meeting and hosting you. Thank you so much for booking this tour with us. We hope to host you again some day. Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊

    Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Livingstone is not rushed.

    Is Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch?

    +

    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 Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch?

    +

    Around 6 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 Livingstone 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 Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch 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 Livingstone 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 Livingstone?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. 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 Livingstone?

    +

    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 Livingstone?

    +

    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 Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Ground transfer; Park fees; and Lunch. Not included: All flights unless or otherwise indicated; and Items of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Chobe Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch 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 Full day Safari: Game Drive & Boat Safari with Lunch?

    +
