Chobe Explorer: Full-day Land & River Safari (Small Group)

The Chobe day trip was absolutely exceptional and unforgettable ❤️ Everything was impeccably organized from start to finish. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and consistently checked on us throughout the experience which I really loved. From the breathtaking wildlife encounters and stunning views to the delicious buffet, refreshing drinks and exceptional hospitality, every detail was exquisite. It was truly a remarkable and memorable experience. I highly recommend Savannah Adventures Safaris to anyone looking for an extraordinary Chobe experience! Thank you Tafadzwa Mashiri for organizing this for us!!!👍

Well planned and perfect, and their open communication kept everything running smoothly. Thank you so much to Eddie for your outstanding professionalism and care. We had a brilliant time!

This trip all be it a long day was fantastic. We were picked up at our hotel at 5.00am and driven to the boarder at Botswana to enter Chobe Game Park. Our adventure started on this hour long ride seeing jackal's hyena and a leopard on the way. The whole day we were with guides who knew their stuff, how to find / hunt out the animals if they weren't showing themselves. We saw so many animals in their natural habitat. With the extended time there is no waiting at the borders to get through. You are ahead of the rest. You also get longer on the land safari as well as on the water. As you stay until sunset it's like two tours day safari and sunset cruise all rolled into one. Breakfast and lunch is provided on the tour. Thank you to the amazing staff at Savannah Adventures for such an incredible day. This tour is well worth the extra time and money. I would highly recommend it. :)

Chobe Experience with Savannah Adventures Chobe was truly the highlight of our many unforgettable adventures in Africa! Matt was our online contact and answered all our questions patiently — thanks to him, we ended up booking all our tours with Savannah Adventures. Eddie, our driver to the border, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about the area. Our land safari was simply incredible — while other jeeps chose a different route, we were rewarded with the rare sight of a leopard on his morning hunt and a pride of lions feeding on a kudu carcass. It was nature in its purest form — breathtaking beauty and raw reality side by side. We saw hundreds of elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and buffalos. The river safari was the perfect contrast — calm and magical — as we floated past elephants splashing in the water, hippos yawning in the sun, crocodiles lurking on the banks, and countless birds overhead. A must-do experience that exceeded every expectation — unforgettable from start to finish!

Chobe was truly the highlight of our many amazing adventures in Africa! Eddie, our driver to the boarder was friendly & very informative about the surrounding area. On our land safari we saw a leopard out on his morning hunt, a family of lions feeding on a carcass, 100’s of elephants, giraffes, antelopes & buffalos. The river safari was beautiful & relaxing . We got incredibly close to elephants playing in the water & saw many hippos ,crocodiles & birds. This is a must do tour, that far exceeded our expectations!!

Awesome experience visiting Chobe today for a safari and tiger fishing outing with Savannah Adventures. They went the extra mile to help celebrate a special birthday and all tour operators involved were very friendly and professional. We will definitely use them again. We saw so much wildlife and even some lion cubs with a kill. Special thank you to Eddy!

I just returned from an incredible trip to Chobe National Park with Savannah Adventures, and I can't stop smiling! The best part? We got to see a pride of lions lounging in the shade—absolutely stunning! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the experience even better. We also spotted elephants and colorful birds along the way. The accommodations were cozy, and the food was delicious. If you're looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure, I highly recommend checking out Savannah Adventures. You won't regret it! 🌍❤️

I was mostly disappointed with the land portion of this tour. The vehicle used was a modified pickup truck with tiered seating in the back, not a safari truck, which made it hard for the guide to communicate with us unless he physically left the cab. I ended up pointing out many of the animals myself for the group and the guide only pointed out about 3. Several times, the vehicle was driven to intentionally get in the way of elephants, including a mother and baby, which made our group uncomfortable. At one point, the driver navigated over rocks near the water’s edge and almost tipped the truck over into the water. Some tips: the park bathrooms don't have toilet paper or soap and don't flush. The guide only provides a snack and drink about 30 minutes before lunch so bring your own. The boat holds about 20 people and doesn't have a bathroom. The pros: I saw a wide variety of animals in a very short period of time. The buffet restaurant we ate at was very nice and had normal bathrooms.

If you are in Victoria Falls I would definitely highly recommend Chobe day trip. Savannah Adventures ensured we were picked up on time. Border formalities were easy. (We needed copy of our 17 year old's birth certificate - so remember that if you are bringing any under 18"s.). Kasa visa if you can get one makes things easier and cheaper. The Chobe is awsome. Photos can't always capture the majesty of the place. Amimals all around, including lion! Lunch was great and boat trip amazing. Fantastic day thanks to Savannah Adventures.

Out of this world. Arranged by the very reliable Savannah Adventures, everything went by clockwork. Smooth entry and exit to and from Botswana (if you can, ask for kasa visa when entering Zimbabwe, if you are to plan day trips to Zambia and Botswana). Within minutes of nearing Chobe we saw a pride of about 10 lions CLOSE UP (not guaranteed of course). The Chobe is beautiful and watching a herd of elephants majestically appear from the bush as they headed to the water, literally passing metres away, is a memory of a lifetime. There were so many other animals too, bull kudu with their spiral horns, giraffe, impala, hippos, wildebeest, and crocodile's a mile long! Not to mention the birds, like African Fish eagles, and Marabou Storks. Savannah Adventures made everything go to plan. Lunch was wonderful and the boat was a small one (which was great as we could get up close and personal with the wildlife!) I Highly recommend Chobe and Savannah Adventures!

My husband and I had an amazing day on the tour. We were able to choose the activities we wanted (game drive, fishing, visit to the quadripoint) and everything was well coordinated. Pickup was on time, and our driver to the border, Eddy, was great to chat with and shared tons of info. He also kindly stopped for us to see animals. The game drive with Richard was incredible. We saw lions, a leopard, impala, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and more. We also did a quick fishing trip and then walked over the bridge to the quadripoint. I definitely recommend this company.

Absolutely great day safari. On land, highlights were male lions very close up, splashed by elephants cooling off on the riverbank, and more in the morning. Then after a decent buffet lunch in a riverside hotel, a boat trip when we saw hippos, crocs, more elephants in the river and a pride of lions on the riverbank feeding on a buffalo they'd just killed. OK a bit gory but circle of life and all that. A truly memorable day, excellent guides and transfers who made sure border crossings were smooth. Thanks to all involved.

Our extended trip to Chobe with Savannah Adventures was an absolute highlight of our trip. We did the extended trip which means you enter the park first thing in the morning at 06h15. Transport from Victoria Falls was very smooth and entertaining. As you leave Victoria Falls at 05h and get back at 20h it is dark and you can already spot some animals. We saw hyenas, elephants and giraffe on our route. Reaching the park early and leaving later is an absolute plus. Our driver Eddy was very entertaining and very knowledgeable. In Chobe we did a fame drive of 6h in the morning and a river tour of 3h in the afternoon until sundown. We saw 10+ lions, 2 leopards, many elephants, buffalos and many other animals. Lunch at midday in buffet form was also great. Passing the border of Zimbabwe with Botswana was also super smooth. We had a blast of a day. In fact all our activities (helicopter flight over Falls, guided tour falls, etc) and transport was arranged by Savannah Adventures. They are 100% recommended. Good service, always on time, reasonable priced and with a lot of expertise and good tips

The safari was fantastic. The whole day from 7am to 6pm was well organised with transfers from the hotel across the boarders and from the jeep for the boat. Watching elephants drink by the water from the boat was the best possible view of the family of elephants. We saw lions, elephants, zebras, crocodiles, giraffes, hippos, water buffalo and many more animals.

After some recommendations from friends we booked our chobe trip with Savanna Adventures who have a desk at N 1 hotel. It was a wonderful trip with close encounters with elephants ,lions and giraffes. We also had a chance to see hippos on the boat and lunch at Cresta Mowana was excellent. Worth doing it again

Absolutely amazing experience, must do!! What a fantastic experience it was this safari in Botswana.. we saw lots of different animals during this whole day experience from Lions (really up close) and Crocodiles to Buffalo and Elephants to name a few. Our tour was not rushed and allowed us to capture incredible moments, we also had a stop off for drinks and later on had a full buffet lunch which was pre-paid for. Would recommend doing this experience, was a full day experience with an early start.

My wife and I did this private day safari from Victoria Falls to Toby . We used Savannah adventures as our service and they arranged everything, including it to be private for us. We had great guides, both on land and on the water. We saw some really cool animals throughout, all of the big five except leopard. We even saw some lion cubs. Our guides went out of the way to make sure we got great pictures. They are very fun, knowledgeable, and, awesome to work with. Would definitely book again.

We hired the agency Savvanah Adventures for the excursions and transfers through the parks of Victoria Falls and 2 days through Chobe Park. The organization was excellent. The safari in Chobe was, without a doubt, the best part of the trip. In addition, spending a night camping at their campsite was an experience that my children loved.

Very well organized. We were picked up as agreed super on time. Thank you - we enjoyed it and can only recommend it to anyone.
