Itinerary

Our tented camping safari, within the Chobe National Park, Botswana, will thrill you with astounding wildlife 'close-encounters', particularly elephant, as the reserve has the largest elephant population in Africa. There are no camp duties on this guided safari, with as many 'juicy' back-to-nature experiences as you could hope for... at the end of a full day on safari, camp fire stories will relive these experiences whilst surrounded by the sounds of Africa - enchanting! On this tour, you will not only enjoy game viewing from an open safari vehicle, but also from a safari boat on the Chobe River, which is an awesome experience - especially for birders, as the river attracts a huge variety of birdlife.

Chobe itself is within a two hour drive from Victoria Falls, where Thompsons Africa also have offices. Here we can offer you an amazing array of adventure activities and we are able to assist you to extend your African holiday to include Victoria Falls - one of the natural wonders of the world - highly recommended! In fact for all your travel needs into Africa, whether it be extending into the Delta or on to South Africa, trust Thompsons Africa to guide you.

DAY 1 – (Sat) Chobe National Par
We depart Kazangula Border Post between 08h30 and 09h00 and proceed to Kasane for the opportunity to purchase any personal beverages, as there are no shops within the park. After a short briefing, we commence on an exhilarating 3 hour boat cruise into the Chobe National Park, easily one of the highlights of this trip. From aboard the boat, one gets the opportunity to get up close and personal with fantastic birdlife, hippo, crocodiles and of course, scores of elephant and Cape buffalo that make their way down to the river to quench their thirst. On arrival at 'white sands' you will be welcomed by your guide for the remainder of your safari and proceed to do a game drive to our 'wilderness' campsite. After a hearty lunch and some time to 'settle' into your tents we embark on an afternoon game drive, this being the best time of day to see Chobe's large herbivores making their way down to the river. We return to camp shortly after sunset for dinner and evening drinks around the camp fire.

DAY 2 – (Sun) Chobe National Park
This morning we wake you at dawn with a friendly Botswana 'dumela' (good day) with warm water in your basins, to freshen up. After a quick cup of tea or coffee, we head off on an early morning game drive. This is the best time of day for searching for the big cats as they are still active and chances of seeing them are good. Around mid morning we return to camp for a delicious 'bush brunch', followed by a siesta to escape the heat of the day. As it starts to cool off, we head out for another afternoon game drive in search of further wildlife activity. Chobe National Park has a wide variety of game from cats to large herbivores with elephant and buffalo being a highlight. However there are also the rarer game like puku and roan antelope, along with many more common antelope on offer too. Once again return to camp after sunset for dinner to reflect on the day whilst being accompanied by the unforgettable sounds of the African night.

DAY 3 – (Mon) Chobe National Park
Another 'dumela' dawn wake up and after a scrumptious cooked breakfast we ensure all your luggage is securely packed before heading out of the park on our final game drive. This last drive may even prove to be the best and will with the others remain etched in memory as a truly great African experience. Return to Kazungula by 09h00 where the tour ends.

Optional Pre & Post Tours
You can easily extend your holiday to include Victoria Falls, a mere two hour road distance from Chobe (Kasane).
