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.

You'll swap to open safari vehicles today and make your way into the famed Hwange National Park which is situated in the far west of the country. Hwange lies in the incredible belt of Africa, spreading out into the neighbouring Botswana hence permitting animals. You will enjoy spending more time in Hwange National Park. It's the kind of park that gets better the longer you're here.

You will be heading down more safari trails in search of animals in Hwange National Park when we take you on a full-day guided game drive. This is the best thing about our safaris, and you will hopefully see many animals. You're going to love exploring Hwange National Park, which is in western Zimbabwe, close to the border with Botswana. There's so much wildlife action for you to look forward to around the waterholes, including incredible numbers of elephants. Zimbabwe's largest national park is home to the Big Five, along with giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, greater kudu, and various other antelope, and there's the possibility of seeing lions hunting elephants. Another reason why Hwange is so important is that it forms part of the five-country Kavango–Zambezi Trans-frontier Conservation Area.
