    Middle seat horror.

    This safari was a bit too rushed. While there were some great sightings we had to move on within minutes to "keep to schedule". A one hour lunch break would have been better used for a longer drive and lighter lunch. I was also pressured to move to the back seat after boarding the truck as a couple had to be moved from the other truck and wanted to sit together. As a result I went from a front side view to a middle back. The people either side leaned forward obscuring the view whenever there was something to see. The typical middle seat horror. Not impressed and very disappointing. The river cruise was good but the game drive rushed and disappointing.

    Taxi trip to Chobe National Park and assistance with the migration.

    We are very satisfied with our excursion to Chobe. The taxi driver picked us up at the hotel and took us safely and securely to the national park. The driver was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information about the country’s history, culture, and geography.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your trust in us we look forward to seeing you again soon

    A super experience, well organised, efficient and informative

    We had a great trip, I fully recommend this company if you are looking to do a safari in Chobe National Park. We were picked up in Livingstone on time, driven carefully to the border with Botswana and guided through, handed to the Botswanan operator and taken to the national park. The tour was fab, we saw elephants, impala, lions, zebra, kudu, crocodiles, giraffe, and so many different bird species. We were taken to a very nice hotel for lunch, with a good buffet, then left from there on the river safari. This was really special, seeing the animals and birds from this approach. Our return journey to Livingstone was as smooth as the outward one. All in all, a great day for the whole family.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your support we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

    Enjoyable for someone first time on a safari tour.

    Enjoyable tour, specifically the water safari. If you have been on a land safari drive before then a little average, way too busy and not personal. Really you are paying for a friendly driver to show you around the national park and if you are lucky that day spot an animal on the side. Unfortunately, I am comparing with 2 days before being in Kruger where we experienced exceptional game drives and a tracker sitting at the front seeking out the animals, sorry a bit spoilt. Communication prior to the tour was poor, we should have been reminded to bring our passports, lucky I did however the day was nearly spoilt because we were not told prior that children under 18 years had to provide a copy of their birth certificate at the Botswana border as well as passports (worried about child trafficking). Who carry's that around with them! Lucky family at home were able to provide so all ended well but that could have ruined the day. Deb from Australia

    Response from the operator: Thank you for for your review as this will make us improve for our next Trips. We look forward to seeing you again in the future with a better experience.

    Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe 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 Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 29 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 Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe?

    +

    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 Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

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

    +

    Around 10 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Safari Tour In Chobe 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.

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Parking fees. Not included: Visa fees are excluded. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
