Chobe game reserve land and boat tour from Livingstone, Zambia.
The tour was amazing and the staff that handled the transfers were polite, punctual and offered an invaluable service. They were courteous and professional and had an in depth knowledge of the product they were promoting and services they were providing. I travelled with a party consisting of my children (pre-teen twins), my sibling and her family, and friends, and proceeded to have what I can only describe as an awesome and amazing time that will long live in the memories of all my party. Much appreciated and heavily recommended from me!

It was a very satisfying tour.
In the mornings, we drive in a car with ponies. Anyway, the sky is blue and wide! It was a great pleasure to see elephants, giraffes, lions, impalas and more up close! In the afternoon, we met crocodiles and hippos from the Zambia River by boat. Lunch was delicious, too. It was a one-day tour from Livingston across the border into Botswana, but I was relieved to have a good pick-up and drop-off.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much 🤝

First safari experience in Africa
I participated in the beginning of May. We had a full day plan and could experience it in the morning by safari car and in the afternoon by boat. I am very satisfied to see many animals including lions and hippos. In particular, we had the opportunity to see elephants, giraffes and many wild birds up close. The African Fish Eagle was also very cool! If you have binoculars during the boat safari, it will be easier to observe distant buffaloes and monitor lizards. The guide had a very good eye and told me at the point of view. I recommend it.
Response from the operator: I appreciate you so so much

Great Chobe Experience and Amazing River Cruise, but a Rushed Morning Safari
I booked a day safari to Chobe National Park from Livingstone, and overall it was a good experience with some very strong moments, especially the afternoon boat cruise. Our day started early at 6:45 AM with pickup by John, who transferred us from Livingstone to the Kazungula Border Post. The border crossing between Zambia and Botswana was surprisingly easy and efficient. After that, we had to wait while additional guests arriving from Zimbabwe were picked up, which unfortunately caused quite a bit of lost time. Once we met our safari guide and entered Chobe National Park, the wildlife was fantastic as expected. However, compared to other safaris I’ve done, the game drive felt a bit rushed. The guide was driving very fast, apparently trying to catch up on time and take us to a lion that had been spotted earlier. Because of this, we were rarely able to stop properly for photos, and there were fewer explanations about the animals and environment than I would have liked. Lunch was a buffet served at a lodge around midday, with a good selection of food and a pleasant setting. The highlight of the day was definitely the afternoon cruise on the Kwando River. The guide was excellent: very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to provide detailed explanations throughout the trip. We saw many hippos and crocodiles up close, and the atmosphere on the river was incredible. After the cruise, we returned to Kazungula and crossed back into Zambia just as easily. John was waiting for me and safely drove me back to Livingstone. Overall, a worthwhile excursion with an amazing river safari, although the morning game drive could have been more relaxed and informative.
Response from the operator: Thank for the review I really appreciate

Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $230 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 National Park Full Day Safari Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 National Park Full Day Safari Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 14 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 National Park Full Day Safari Tour?
+
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 Full Day Safari Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour 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 National Park Full Day Safari Tour?
+
Included: Entrance fees; English guide is also the driver; Lunch; Boat safari; and English Audio and Written guide. Not included: Bicycle use; and On-board restrooms. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Chobe National Park Full Day Safari Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
