Victoria Falls → Chobe
A day in elephant country.
Cross from Victoria Falls into Botswana for two complementary safari experiences: wildlife from a boat on the Chobe River, then the riverfront bush from a safari vehicle. The river brings animals to the water’s edge and provides a clear view of the banks; the game drive lets you explore the park’s tracks and changing habitats. Elephants, buffalo, antelope, hippos and crocodiles are among the animals to look for. Lions and leopards may also be encountered, but every wildlife day is different.
