    This is an amazing...

    This is an amazing experience. Everything was very smooth from the pickup (see suggestions below); the safari itself; transfer at the border and the lunch. The driver (from lodge to Zim border was nice and respectful; Baits who was the Safari guide was also nice). A few suggestions for the owner to improve: 1. I was pick up at 7am despite my booking clearly said it was for 7:30am. Since I was alone, it was easy for me to manage a quick breakfast and immediately leave - but if I were to be with other people, this could have been an issue. 2. Possibly because I was solo, there were a couple of changes during transfers. I began with a different group and after lunch I was asked to join a different group for the river tour and after the river tour (heading back to Zim border) I was assigned a different driver again. There was not an issue at all since everything went super smoothly, but if this could be informed more clearly ahead of time (with name and contact details of the drivers), it could help reduce the anxiety.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much , very appreciated. An itinerary is worth a great team with a few team members very is correct and pre information of the day structure is important . I will reinforce that on operations team. Thank you also doubling different links we work with for varrying pickup time ,normally Chobe day pickup is 07h00 then Chobe overnight Camping is 10h00 or 11h00 depending on travellers request for the 2 optioned times. Thank you most for the feedback and booking with us.

    Chobi Day Trip

    A fabulous day from start to finish, we fully recommend it. The quality of the transport and guides were great. We saw lots of wildlife including elephants, impala, hippo’s, giraffes and crocodiles and eagles. The combination of a half day safari and half day river cruise was fantastic.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Julie , Chobe Safari gives a full day with great sightings

    An unforgettable trip

    We have a wonderful time with the team. The viewing on the boat was spectacular and we were able to move swiftly and fast than the larger boats to see elephants crossing the river which was awesome. Our overnight tent was pretty cool and it even had a shower. Dinner was amazing, the conversation with the team and the late night elephants and lions walking and roaring close close by was a highlight. The next we were lucky enough to spot a pride of lions enjoying a hard earned meal. Definitely once in a lifetime opportunity. All in all, it was a great short trip and beautiful memories were made.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for booking with us , Chobe and Hwange Overnight Camping a must do from the bucket list. Nature and Wildlife a very rich class down here, one has to experience.Thank you for booking with us.

    Eventfull day in Botswana

    Great day in Chobe. Saw a lot of animals. Very knowledgeable guides. First we did game drive and afterwards we did the cruise where we got even closer in on the animals. Lunch was also very good. Very good organised day. Remember to bring some USD cash for visa and for tips.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Holger ,Chobe full day is amazing. Thank you for booking with us.

    Chobe Full Day Safari Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chobe Full Day Safari Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $185 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 Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 97 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 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 Full Day Safari Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe Full Day Safari Trip?

    +

    Around 34 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe Full Day Safari 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 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 Trip?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Lunch; Game drives; Bottled water; and Driver/guide. Not included: Gratuities; Visas; and Park fees $15,00 per person pay to driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chobe Full Day Safari Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 52 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chobe Full Day Safari Trip offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
