Fantastic tour!
We had a fantastic time. Pick up, drop off and border crossing went smoothly. The morning game drive was fantastic as we specifically asked to see the lions if possible. We got to see them up close and also a mum and kids feeding. Overall the whole Chobe safari was excellent including the provided buffet lunch. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear George, We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience on your Chobe Safari. It was a pleasure arranging your transfers and border crossing, and we’re especially happy that the game drive delivered the lion sightings you were hoping for seeing a mother with her cubs is certainly a special moment! We’re also glad you enjoyed the buffet lunch and the safari experience overall. Thank you for recommending Owen’s Taxi & Tours. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable African adventure in the future! Warm Regards, Owen’s Taxi & Tours

Incredible experience
We had an excellent experience with Owen’s Taxi and Tours. The Chobe National Park game drive and river safari were both outstanding and gave us the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife in their natural habitat. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The transfers were punctual, communication was clear, and the staff were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The river safari was particularly memorable, with incredible views and close sightings of elephants, hippos, crocodiles.
Response from the operator: Hello Bianca, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and assisting with your visit. I'm delighted to hear that the airport pickup, SIM card assistance, and Chobe Safari tour all went smoothly and exceeded your expectations. Our team always strives to provide professional service while making guests feel comfortable and well cared for, so your kind words about the guides, transportation, safari experience, and lunch mean a great deal to us. I will be sure to pass your compliments on to the entire team. I'm especially happy that you enjoyed the tour and that everyone in your group had such a positive experience.

So lucky to find Owen’s T And Tours .Professional and warm service.
So lucky to find Owen’s T And Tours .Professional and warm service. Huge thanks to GPT for helping me find Owen. He is truly a kind and helpful boss. When I first arrived, Owen arranged a pickup for me very quickly and also had the driver help me buy a local SIM card. The whole process went super smoothly with no stress at all. After that, I joined a Chobe Safari day tour that Owen helped me book. The guide team was very professional — the female guide helped me with the Botswana visa process, and the male guide led us to find amazing wildlife. On the jeep, we could have some snacks when hungry, and water was always provided. Great attention to detail. Lunch surprised us — both the environment and food quality were excellent, way beyond our expectations. In short, Owen not only provides efficient transportation service, but the Safari day tour was also very professional. There were five of us on the tour, total strangers before, but every single person was truly satisfied with the experience. Wish Owen all the best and happy days! Highly recommend him to everyone visiting here.

Amazing service! Highly recommend
My family of five used Owen’s Taxis and Tours for transfers and tours, and we were thoroughly impressed! They managed our return transfers to the airport, organized a tour of Victoria Falls on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides, arranged a helicopter ride, and provided a full private tour of Chobe National Park. Everyone we encountered was professional, kind, and reliable. Everything was coordinated seamlessly, and I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you feel happy, safe, and make the most of your time in Zambia!
Response from the operator: Dear Catherine and Family, Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time with Owen’s Taxi and Tours — from your airport transfers and Victoria Falls tours to the helicopter flight and Chobe adventure! Our team truly strives to make every experience smooth, safe, and memorable, so your kind words mean a lot to us. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back to Zambia for more unforgettable moments soon! Kindest Regards, Owen.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chobe Full Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Chobe Full Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $210 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 Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 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 Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chobe Full Day Trip?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chobe Full 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 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 Trip?
+
Included: Private transportation; and Lunch. Not included: beer. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chobe Full Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Chobe Full 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 Full 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.
