    Wonderful, well organised day

    This was a great day. Well coordinated. The game drive was amazing and we got to see lions sleeping. The lunch was delicious- wine a bit on the pricey side. Boat cruise was good. Guide was knowledgeable. All in all, worth doing.

    Response from the operator: We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great day and enjoyed the game drive, lunch, and boat cruise. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re glad the experience was well coordinated and worth doing. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future.

    Ultimate Chobe day trip

    My wife and I had a great safari experience during the Chobe day trip. Nicky was very helpful and professional as he picked us up from Livingstone and ensured our border crossing went smoothly before handling us to the agents in Botswana who then took us on the wild safari trip, where we saw all kinds of wild life, including elephants, crocs, Kudu, hippos, Giraffes and a pride of lions with a buffalo hunt. What an ultimate experience to remember. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: We're delighted you had an amazing Chobe safari experience and enjoyed seeing so much wildlife. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

    Wonderful

    Awesome! We saw so many animals, and the boat tour was very comfortable. Also, I'm from Taiwan, and they took my passport upon arrival in Botswana and only returned it later. I would have been terrified if our guide hadn't explained this to us. Thank you so much to our guide, Mr. Daka!

    Response from the operator: We are very happy to hear that you had an awesome experience and enjoyed seeing so many animals. Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure assisting you, and I'm glad I could explain the passport procedure and help you feel comfortable throughout the trip. Wishing you safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

    A great full day in Chobe

    The was a great experience they picked us up from our hotel and helped us with all of the immigration process for the day trip and made sure we were handed off to the correct group every step of the way. The game drive was great we saw numerous animals and exotic birds. Also an hearty meal was provided before the river cruise. Overall I commend them for the great communication and an even better safari. I highly recommend this adventure.

    Response from the operator: The Bush Wilderness Safaris Team is happy to hear you enjoyed the safari, river cruise, and our service throughout the trip. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again soon!

    Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana 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 national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 30 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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana?

    +

    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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana?

    +

    Around 11 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana 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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana?

    +

    Included: Park entry fees; lunch at chobe safari lodge; Bottle water & Drinks; Morning Game Drive; and Afternoon boat River Safari. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 67 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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana 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 Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana?

    +

    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.

    Is Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Chobe national Park Safari Full-Day Tour to Botswana if the weather is bad?
