It is home to 450 bird species and the greatest elephant population in Africa. Clients are picked up from their accommodation at 7:10 a.m. for their trip to Botswana. The guide meets the guests at Kazungula and leads them through the immigration process. At 9:30 a.m., passengers board the boat for a three-hour journey into Chobe National Park. The river cruise is regarded as one of the highlights of the trip, as it allows visitors to get up close and personal with spectacular bird life, hippos, crocodiles, and, of course, dozens of elephants and Cape buffalo that come down to the river to quench their thirst. The boat ride ends at the Coffee Buzz at 12:30 p.m. After a hearty supper, there is an opportunity to go on an afternoon game drive at 3 p.m. At around 6:00 p.m., you will be returned to the lodge to rest for the evening.

  4. Day 4

    Chobe National Park

    Guests start getting up as early as 6:30 a.m. with warm water to freshen up and a pleasant "dumela" greeting. After a short cup of tea or coffee and a modest continental meal, set off for an early morning game drive. This is the finest time of day to spot large cats or wild canines because they are still active and have a good chance of being seen. Guests return to camp in the middle to late morning for a delightful "buffet lunch" and a chance to relax before their afternoon boat cruise at 3:00 p.m. At around 6:00 p.m., all clients will return to the camp and take a refreshing shower before supper. The main destination is Chobe National Park (Botswana). Accommodation: Chobe Safari Lodge, Botswana.
