Chobe Full Day Trip From Victoria Falls

It was fantastic. We really enjoyed

The game drive was amazing. Got to see a lion pride of 16, giraffe, buffalo, 100s of elephants, big crocs, crazy morning! The boat ride was less impressive but worth it to see a different perspective on the national park.

A great day out. We went from Vic Falls :- pick up was on time , the travel through immigration into Botswana went smoothly. Morning was a jeep game drive , afternoon on the Chobe River. The nation park is full animals and was great to see the elephants playing in the water.

Having both the land game drive AND the boat drive was a great experience. Highly recommended! (We were lucky to see a leopard .)

The Chobe day trip was a great experience. The tour was well organized with the pickup/drop off and border crossing. The tour guide was excited to provide the best possible experience. We were able to see multiple lions, giraffes, gazelle, elephants, buffalo and hippo’s. The boat trip was a relaxing end to the day.

The experience was all around amazing. Everything operated very smoothly from the hotel pick up, to the border crossing, and getting into the park, and around to seeing the wildlife. The safari jeep was open air and could seat 8 people so it was a small group. The boat portion in the afternoon was really worth it as it allows us to see the animals in and around the water where a vehicle couldn’t reach.

Amazing! Well worth the all day trip. If you want a close up encounter with elephants in the wild, this is your tour…

Everything about this Chobe day trip was amazing! We saw so many incredible animals, and both the river cruise and Jeep safari were unforgettable. Our Jeep driver was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information throughout the safari. The only downside was the long wait at the border, but this was completely outside the tour company’s control. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria Falls!

Amazing and a trip to remember indeed The tour guide was friendly and made sure we enjoyed Defined value for the money A day tour Has a wide range of animals

This day tour was e great experience, the drivers were friendly, guides were good, we have no complaints..

Overall it was a good day. The game drive was awesome and the Buffett lunch was filling. Transfers to Botswana were easy. The only down side was the boat got stuck in mud for an hour. We never really got to finish our boat safari because we waited so long to be rescued from being stuck in the mud. I think they still should have drive us down the river more or refunded part of the experience because we missed a lot of the boat safari.

An absolutely fabulous day! Hotel pick up, one hour drive to Botswana border with help from the guides to get you through immigration which is fairly quick and then 1/2 day land tour - excellent lunch at a beautiful lodge Mowana - and then 1/2 day on water. From pick up to drop off roughly 11 hours. Of course it’s the animals that make the safari and they really showed up for us today we saw soooooo much loads of giraffe elephants crocodiles on and on ✨ special thx to the crew Philip Walter and Chopta you guys rocked the day and our time with you tyssm :) side note: pls have the necessary visa to enter Botswana or else it holds up the entire group while they process you on site 👍🏻

Good quality experience (which will depend upon which safari driver and boat guide that you get). Road to Chobe had alot of potholes, but our transfer driver did his best to avoid most of them. Buffet lunch was good but not gormet. All in all, a good day trip with not border problems for those with the proper KAZA visa.

The tour is wonderful. The hotel pick up is on time and the transitions at the borders are very smooth. The tour guides/drivers are friendly and helpful. We saw a lot of animals in Chobe. Both the boat cruise and the safari game drive are fantastic. It is a relaxing worry-free tour to encounter many African animals, like the elephants, the hippos, the crocdiles, the lion and etc.

Great experience. Picked up on time by Phillip who was an excellent driver. The game drive was fantastic. These things can be hit and miss, but we managed to see lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocodiles among many others. The afternoon boat safari was great as well. Saw hippos and elephants. Lunch was at a lovely hotel on the water and food was good. You just had to pay for your drinks. Water/soft drinks provided throughout the day on the drives/boat. Tepe was our game driver and she made sure we got to see as much as possible. Would highly recommend this trip.

What an awesome experience. The tour is well planned and you get to truly enjoy the experience. The lunch was super nice, the lunch venue awasome. Our guides were very pleasant and knowledgeable, the cruise safari was a new and fun experience, it was nice to see river animals up close. We were truly well taken care of.

Had a great time on our day trip from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park in Botswana. Pick up, drop off, and boarder crossing were all easy and while it was green season, and we didn’t see an over abundance of animals, the ones we did see were patient and we were able to get some wonderful photos. Lunch was also a great buffet at a nice lodge and the boat tour was a lovely way to end the day. Definitely a great way to spend a day!

I had an amazing trip to Chobe with this tour. They were exteemely professional and punctual. I texted them on Whatsapp beforehand to confirm the pickup place and they responded super quickly and were available for all the questions i had. The trip itself is super nice - they drive you to the border for 1h, then you transfer to a jeep for the Chobe safari, afterwards we had an amazing buffer lunch (much better than what i expected - amazing food and fancy lodge) and the last part was a Chobe river cruise with a knowledgble guide. I was here in March and saw some great animal sightings - giraffe, elephant, impalas, kudu, crocodile, hippo, buffalo.

Amazing, my guide was amazing, she didn’t follow other guides and took us to see most animals first.. we completed the big five! A really amazing day and the lunch was such a great surprise, thank you again

Amazing day, just what a safari day should be like. Our guide was amazing. In the afternoon our boat safari was also amazing, sadly the weather came in but not before we got to see most things.

The tour was amazing, the pick up was on time, and the border process was smooth. The game drive was excellent, got close to elephants and lions. The buffet lunch was really good. The boat ride was good, saw some crocs, hippos and elephants. The bonus was that the park entrance was included, unlike some companies that charge extra.

You see a lot of animals in the park (elephants, giraffes, antilopes, impalas, monkeys, birds, crocodiles, hippos, buffels and we see also lions). The distance to the animals, also lions is sometimes only 2 meters. We see imore then 200 elephants in our trip. The guieds a very nice. Yo will be pick uo at hotel and go first to the border. There you change guide and car and drive with an ooen car, maximum 9 person (we were 7) through the park, after you ger a good lunch buffet in a correct 4-stars hotel and after you make a boat trip with about 25 people in boat. The best think was that my three year old son can come with me free of charge. Thank you for that.

This was a brilliant day out to Chobe. We were so lucky to see a pride of lions and then elephants crossing the river right in front of us whilst we were on the boat in the afternoon. Nicholas was a brilliant guide who went out of his way to get us the fantastic sightings. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Cool experience, however, lots of other tourists in the park with us, annoying to cross the border from Zimbabwe (multiple steps and lines at the border, waste of time). Guides were great, knowledgeable, and saw everything, even a lion stalking some impala. For a more desolate, rugged, people-less experience, try Hwange.

The game drive was fabulous, with a very experienced ranger to guide the group. The game cruise on the ferry was relaxing and also offered good viewing of wildlife.

This was very well organized from the pick up from my hotel, to sorting out the logistics at the border to then switching over onto the Botswana side and back. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable and we were able to see a bunch of animals especially the main event the Elephants and the lions! I definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about going on this trip. We did a road and boat safari with a lunch in middle. I had a great time!

After searching many sites to try to put together a visit to Victoria Falls that included visiting the falls and doing a safari in Chobe NP, I became frustrated and finally found Maxwell Tours. From the beginning Max was great to work with. He listened to all of my wants and put together an incredible package that exceeded our expectations. Not only did we visit Victoria Falls & Chobe NP, but we also enjoyed a helicopter tour over the falls, a wonderful sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River and so much more…from the airport pickup and drop off by Phillip, we were cared for like family. Thank you Max & Phillip for making our trip to Victoria Falls unforgettable.

Well organized from start to finish. Great wat to see the areas wildlife in one day. Good balance between land based game drive and boat safari.

The driver to and from the Botswana border was very nice and interesting, as was the driver in the bush of the National Park. Due to the weather, he had to work hard to find the big 4 (no rhinos left in the park due to poaching…what a shame), but he was successful. We switched to the river safari, and our guide put us on many crocs, hippos, elephants, and Cape buffalo. The highlight was a “territorial” dispute between two hippos. Low lite? The buffet at a beautiful safari hotel was disappointing, but inexpensive.

We traveled as a party of 6, with 2 small children 1 (almost 2) and 4, two seniors and 2 adults. This experience was absolutely incredible. Worth every cent. First off our driver to pick us up and drop us back off was on time courteous and a safe driver. He stopped for any wildlife that we saw. And we saw plenty. He also had cold bottled water ready for us which was a blessing because it was so hot! The border crossings were easy. We were guided by someone the entire time. Then V our Safari guide picked us up. He was amazing. Professional, on time. Very knowledgeable. We got to see so many amazing animals. But the highlights were lions hanging out by a elephant they had killed, A herd of elephants playing in the mud and even a large pack of wild dogs. In all the these cases V was able to get us up close and personal with these incredible creatures. Afterwards V dropped us off at the Baobab tree lodge and we enjoyed a buffet style lunch. Drinks including water were not included. So just expect an extra expense. Around $3 US per drink. After that we were guided to our river cruise. We were able to see more elephants. multiple herds of elephants, hippos, Crocodiles, amazing birds and a rare antelope i forgot the name of. The boat guide was also very knowledgeable. I was so impressed by the level of professionalism with every person we encountered on this tour. Do not hesitate, just book it. You won't regret it.

The driver service was great, We saw some beautiful wild animals up close and from afar. My only complaint is it's hot and water promised should be delivered and not only to the guide himself but passengers too.

Very well organized, good lunch, Great guides (Tsami and Frank), friendly driver (Phillip), and the animals were incredible. Totally enjoyed it. They were also very communicative and let me change very last minute due to sickness with no hassle. Thanks!

We loved the experience but our game driver (Theme (?)) did not engage with us much and eventually I asked her if she could stop if we came across elephants so that we could get some photos - most of us on the truck felt this way. By comparison our boat drive in the afternoon with Frans was an enriching experiencing because he fully engaged, pointing out different birds and giving us interesting info on the animals. He was very patient and went as close to the animals as he could turning the boat so that all of us could get good photos. Lunch was also good.

Well organised, good lunch, saw lots of animals on safari and boat trip. A very good day out. However, a slightly later start ie. Pick up at 7am would be helpful to fit in breakfast

My visit to the Chobe was a highlight but I would recommend going with another tour operator. For the game drive in the morning, they combined an English-speaking group and Spanish-speaking group. Not all fit in the truck, so one customer had to ride in the cab of the truck. I felt bad for her since she couldn’t hear the guide nor have a genuine safari experience. The translation into Spanish was also subpar and often unintelligible. For the river cruise in the afternoon, they had seven people on a rather large and clunky barge-type boat that was too large to get close to shore, struggled to move through the water, and even broke down at one point. Chobe National Park is incredible and you’re bound to see loads of animals, regardless of the tour company, but all the services the tour company was in control of were very disappointing.

Everything worked out well. Pick-up was on time. After arriving at the border it took a while for everyone to be processed. We saw lots of animals including a lion, giraffes, elephants, impala and kudu. A very nice buffet lunch at a river lodge and a fantastic boat tour along the Chobe River.

If visit Botswana, why not? The tour program is well-organized and people are really nice. You can see lots of elephants.

Top class experience. Saw lots of game, had a great lunch and was transported from hotel to Chobe and back. Highlights was seen the fish eagles and lions.

Fantastic day, packed wit attractions. Very well organized. Guides did all they could so could see as many animals as possible. Great day

What an amazing adventure. From the moment Casper picked us up at our Lodge, to the time he dropped us off back home, we were embraced with the Zimbabwe and Botswana friendship and genuine appreciation of us coming to enjoy what their country has to offer. Everything was so organized and we never had to wait for anything. Will definitely return.

Incredible safari experience! Everything was so well run, from pick up, through the boarders, safari, lunch, boat safari, then drop off, all was exactly the times noted. Plus, the actual safari was amazing! We saw a ton of animals, our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly, and we were comfortable in both the vehicle and the boat. Would absolutely book again - 10/10 experience.

My family and I booked the Chobe Day trip from Victoria Falls and had the absolute best experience. We read reviews and were slightly worried about the border crossing, but it was 100% seamless. Our driver, Phillip, picked us up from our front door within just a few minutes of the stated pick up time. They communicated with us via WhatsApp the day before to confirm pickup time and location! Phillip drove us to the border, walked us through immigration to ensure there were no issues, and handed us off to our Botswanan driver, who was the safari driver! There were TONS of day trip people and companies, so even if your driver isn’t as thorough as our amazing Phillip was, just follow the crowd 😂 in Botswana, the driver also walked us through without incident, and we drove to the park. Our safari driver was just amazing and I can’t begin to explain how awesome the day was. After about 3.5 hours on land, our driver took us to Mowana, where we had a delicious buffet lunch for about an hour. After lunch, we were taken by boat along the river and saw many more animals. Our boat captain was great! Both our driver and captain had waters and sodas available, but at lunch there was a fee for drinks. All members of our group agreed that this day trip was 100% worth the price.

Breathtaking! We had the most lovely young lady as a guide in Botswana, I hate that I didn't write her name down. She was absolutely fearless in the bush truck, and made sure we got to see a cheetah, the last of the big five on our list. The trip over to Impala Island was interesting and eye opening. The sunset on the river cruise was absolutely breathtaking, and definitely another highlight. Everyone we came in contact with was super friendly and appeared to be glad to help. Definitely recommend this adventure if you're in the area.

The border crossing was a pain because it was delayed by some guests who didn’t have the proper visa and documentation so we had to wait for almost an hour for them to finish (if only they did some research beforehand). The online pre-booking process requested passport info and nationality so the operator should separate tourists into different groups based on ease of entry at immigration. Buffet Lunch was great. Boat cruise was spectacular, saw swimming elephants.

Excellent 1 day trip to chobe national park. It is a full day event. Philip drove us to Botswana border and Nikolaz took us on a morning game drive where we saw lots of animals including lions. After lunch in the afternoon we did a chobe river boat game drive and that was icing on top of the cake. All in great experience

This experience was one of the best days of my friends and I’s life! The pick up and immigration process was seamless and smooth. Chobe national park was beautiful and we saw a pride of lions which was a highlight. Then we had a buffet lunch of local and fan favorite foods. The boat safari was scenic and a favorite for the bird watchers. For 3 college kids on a budget we are so happy we invested in this experience and would definitely recommend!

Our driver Casper was awesome and very knowledgeable on the town, animals, and country. The game drive was incredible we saw a ton of animals. Then we had an excellent buffet lunch Then we had a amazing boat tour on the Chobe River By far one of the best day trips ever

Pick up was on time, the border crossing was good, the safari was great but it would have been great to have had a box to stand on to assist getting into the safari vehicle, and blankets.

This activity was very well organised, everything was seamless. All guides were extremely knowledgeable and took the time to point out and explain different wildlife and areas of the national park. The lunch was delicious too
