You can look forward to a world-class wildlife experience in Chobe Riverfront, close to Kasane. It is a wonderful place to see big elephants, big cats, hippos and plenty of action as wildlife comes down to drink by the riverbank.

On arrival, you will go on a guided game drive looking for wildlife and learning all about them from your professional guide.
In the afternoon after lunch, you will go on a boat trip on the river in Chobe National Park.

After the boat trip, we will drive back from Chobe National Park to Victoria Falls town.
