Country: Zambia
Duration:
1 days
Description
Full-day Chobe National Park safari from Livingstone — game drive, buffet lunch, and afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River, with a smooth, hassle-free Kazungula border crossing included.
Cross the border into Botswana for a full day exploring Chobe National Park, home to one of Africa's largest elephant populations alongside lion, buffalo, giraffe, and abundant birdlife along the riverfront.
You'll be picked up from your Livingstone accommodation at 06:30 and driven to the Kazungula border, where we handle the crossing formalities for you. Once in Chobe, your day begins with a game drive through the park's varied landscape, tracking wildlife with an experienced local guide. Midday, you'll break for a buffet lunch at a safari lodge overlooking the Chobe River — included in your trip.
In the afternoon, board a boat for a cruise along the Chobe River, where elephants, hippos, and crocodiles gather at the water's edge — a perspective on the park's wildlife no vehicle-based safari can match. After a full day in Botswana, you'll be transferred back across the border, arriving back in Livingstone between approximately 17:00 and 18:00.
This is a genuine full day, not a rushed half-day squeeze — giving you real time in the park rather than a token visit.
