From Victoria Falls to Chobe’s river and bush

Swap town life for two nights of budget bush camping beside Chobe National Park. Starting and ending in Victoria Falls, this three-day journey brings together a Chobe River boat safari and guided game drives, with meals prepared at camp and evenings around the fire.

A camping stay, not a lodge overnight

Your overnight base is an unfenced budget campsite bordering Chobe National Park. The riverfront lodge visited for lunch on the first day is not your overnight accommodation. The campsite name and practical camping arrangements will be confirmed before travel. Follow your guide’s safety instructions throughout this wildlife setting.

River wildlife and safari tracks

A two-hour river outing offers a different view of Chobe from the water. Land safaris then explore the park’s tracks in search of elephants, antelope, buffalo and predators. Animal movements and sightings vary; no encounter is guaranteed.

Times are approximate and depend on border formalities and local conditions. Extra game drives or extended river activities can be requested separately; they are not included in this programme. Carry the documents required to enter Botswana and return to Zimbabwe.
