This is a sensational safari trip which allows you to view game from land in Jeep and from the river in a boat. The first game sighting is from the Chobe River, where you will see animals as they come and drink in the river Chobe River which flows through the renowned Chobe National Park providing a haven for herds of grazing animals and bird life. The combination of boat safari and jeep allows the viewing on animals from incredible angles, one from water and the other from land. The trip encompasses the seeing of land, water and bird-life which is an absolute experience. A buffet lunch in a restaurant overlooking the river is always a best option, you dine while you enjoy the exceptional views of the area.

    An experiance I will never forget.

    I was picked up from shockwave and taken across the boarder, The crossing was easy and went smooth. We arrived to do the boat cruise first where we saw so many aquatic animals the boat was small but allowed us to zip around to see all the animals close up and the boat was only our group. We finish and had the best buffet lunch full of everything you can want. After lunch the group went to our own car to do the first of our game drives and saw so many animals. we spotted 3 of the Big 5 elephant, Lion, and the buff. We managed to see alot more like giraffes. The accommodation provide was next level, Aircon, pool, bar, wifi and some staff. in the morning we went for the second game drive and was offered a seperate route of which we saw baby giraffes, baby elephants with over hundreds of other elephants. I recommend this to everyone that is looking to find some animals in a carefree enviroment.

    Response from the operator: Hi Harro Thank you for this 5-bubble review. we really appreciate it a lot and thank you so much for supporting us. At Shockwave we are a one stop activity hum and we are so glad that all the activities we organised for you met your expectations. Once again our gratitude for recommending us to the world, we wish you all the best in life. with all the love from Africa

    Boat tour & morning game drive were good.

    After completing the afternoon game drive, I could honestly say it was the 5th best game drive I had ever experienced. Which might be cool if I'd been on 100 game drives, but is pretty sad since I have only been on 5. The driver was not skilled, nor particularly knowledgeable, and he wasn't responsive to the needs/wants of the guests on safari. Zero stars The overnight accommodations were unacceptable, with no access to food or beer, and no reasonable way to charge your electronics (I ended up unplugging the TV). Zero stars. If they are using the same accommodations - a guest house - I recommend booking your own overnight somewhere nice, and paying the difference out of pocket. There's many pleasant places to stay in town and lots of food and beer to be had. The boat safari provided good access to a number of birds that I don't normally see on safari plus some up close with the crocodiles & hippos - but I would rate it only as average. Lunch was better than expected. But the morning game drive on day two was excellent definitely one of the better game drives I have experienced (and making the previous day's afternoon game drive now #6 of 6). The morning driver was pleasant and very responsive to the guests on safari and their wants & needs.

    Response from the operator: Hi there Hi thank you very much for this review. We are so grateful and as Shockwave we are always a learning company and we always welcome constructive criticism as we believe it shapes us for the better in future. We are so sorry there were a few glitches here and there on your safari trip in Chobe and we really regret you had a bad experience. Just to point out a few things, we really accept the responsibility of choosing the accommodation on your behalf. We are so saddened by the fact that the accommodation didn't live up to standard despite us having faith you were going to be impressed. In fact this is not the accommodation that we usually use for our day and overnight trip. Our partner hotel was fully booked on the dates you had gone for your trip and believe you me we have never got any negative feedback from our travelers from them. We are so glad that you had a wonderful game drive that gave you some time to cherish the safari despite the previous day game drives being shambolic.We have launched an internal investigation in order to ascertain what really transpired on the day for you to be guided by an less knowledgeable guide. We really have confidence with the people we work with and always want to live up to standards and make your holiday as memorable and cherish able as it can be. We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused. Thank you once again for choosing us and supporting our business. we hope you had a wonderful time with us despite the glitches on your trip. we wish you well in life's endeavor and hop e we will meet again. with kindest regards Philani

    Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $554 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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari 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 Victoria Falls is not rushed.

    Is Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari?

    +

    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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari 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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari?

    +

    Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari 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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and Breakfast. Not included: Visa Cost (We recommmend that you take a KAZA on your arrival); and Gratiuties( These are NOT Compulsory). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari 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 National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Chobe National Park Day & Overnight Game Safari if the weather is bad?
