Trip Informations

The Chobe National Park boasts one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa – elephants, buffalo, giraffe, antelope and so many other animals live, breed and eat here; and that’s not even mentioning the 460 bird species that have been recorded in the park. Experienced game drivers often pass up to 15 different species of animal on a single trail, allowing adventurers to spot anything from lions to hyenas, warthogs to the rare puku and beyond. Follow the call of the wild on this short trip through a land full of life.

Is this trip right for you?

This itinerary starts and finishes in Kasane. Transfers are available at an additional cost from both Victoria Falls and Kasane Airports.

On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Tuuur partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.

Regardless of where you stay, power cuts and breaks in hot water are sometimes unavoidable, as in any developing country. In particular, South Africa suffers from load-shedding: rolling blackouts that are engineered specifically to share out available power in the region.

Itinerary

DAY 1
Day 1 • Kasane / Chobe National Park
Welcome to Botswana! You’re free to arrive at any time today as there are no activities planned. If you’re looking to take a transfer from Kasane Airport, Victoria Falls Airport or Victoria Falls hotels, these can be arranged for an additional cost. You may wish to arrive before 2pm if you’d like to make the most of this trip by witnessing the scenic savannah around Kasane on an optional activity. The lodge is comfortable and protects you against the sun, so kicking back with a drink as the odd animal wanders past is a fine way to while away the afternoon before the rest of the group arrives.

DAY 2
Day 2 • Chobe National Park
Today is a full day for experiencing the wilds of Chobe National Park, keeping an eye and an ear out for trumpeting elephants, chuckling baboons, roaring lions and many other exciting animals. Begin the day with a morning game drive to see these beasts at their most active, followed by a bit of down time at the lodge when the sun burns at its hottest. Once the sun cools down, jump on board a boat and travel towards the Chobe River. Animals will likely be cooling down at the banks, playing and drinking in these less intense conditions.

Special information
A visit to Chobe National Park itself is not a complete wilderness experience – you're sure to see other people, boats and vehicles inside the park. But the beauty of Chobe is that you’re also bound to see wildlife that’s equal to anything anywhere in Africa. Your game drive and boat tour within Chobe National Park will be shared activities. You will be accompanied by other guests of the lodge.
DAY 3
Day 3 • Chobe National Park
Awake in the morning and take your pick – either enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the lodge or embark on an optional game drive for more animal spotting. Either way, your hot breakfast awaits for you upon your return. Afterwards, your adventure comes to a formal end. Additional accommodation can be pre-booked (at additional costs) if you’d like to extend your stay in Kasane.
