Full Day Chobe Trip From Victoria Falls

Ubuntu African Safaris’ most-booked single-day excursion — a river cruise and a game drive in Chobe National Park, home to the largest elephant population in Africa, with lunch and the Kazungula border crossing handled for you.

Overview

Trip Overview

Chobe National Park sits just across the Botswana border from Victoria Falls, and this full-day trip is the easiest way to experience it without committing to an overnight stay. You’ll cross at Kazungula, spend the day on the Chobe River and in the park itself, and be back in Victoria Falls the same evening — no packing, no extra accommodation, just a full day of exceptional game viewing.

Chobe holds the largest concentration of elephants in Africa, and the riverfront draws buffalo, hippo, crocodile and prolific birdlife year-round, with the dry season (May–October) concentrating even more game along the water’s edge.

What To Expect

How The Day Unfolds

Part1

Border Crossing & Arrival

Early pickup from your Victoria Falls accommodation, a short drive to Kazungula, and an escorted crossing into Botswana — a guide handles the immigration formalities so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Part2

Chobe River Cruise

A boat cruise along the Chobe River, getting close to elephant herds drinking and swimming, pods of hippo, basking crocodile and dense waterbird activity — often the single best wildlife photography stretch of the day.
