Chobe 2 day & 2 night Trip

Brief description

Your trip starts with a 7h00-7h30 pickup from your hotel, and then an hour long transfer to Botswana. After border formalities, your first activity is a morning safari on the Chobe River, taking in the river’s inhabitants including hippo and crocodile and a variety of bird species, plus the other game that come to the water. At around 12h30, you will have your lunch at a local hotel, and then you will move into Chobe National Park for an afternoon drive, exploring the river’s edge for more game. Sundowners and dinner will be served at camp within the park. Your second day begins with a wakeup call for an early morning drive. Return to camp for nourishment and then head deeper into the park where other game vehicles don’t go. After the drive, head back to camp for drinks and dinner. On you last morning, you will be woken up for the usual breakfast and head out of Chobe National Park to either Kasane if you are going to stay in or fly out of Botswana or for a transfer to your hotel in Zimbabwe.
