3-Day Chobe Camping Safari from Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls → Chobe → Victoria Falls

Stay longer. Notice more.

Give Chobe three days and two nights. This camping safari starts and finishes in Victoria Falls and keeps your attention on one park, with a full middle day between arrival and departure.

The three-day trip suits travellers who want more time in Chobe than a short overnight escape allows. DK’s itinerary places every day in Chobe National Park, with budget camping on the first two nights. The extra day lets the safari breathe: there is time for the confirmed wildlife programme and moments to enjoy the outdoor setting without an immediate onward journey. Tell the team if you would like the schedule to favour photography, birds or a balance of park and river experiences.

Duration: 3 days / 2 nights
Start & finish: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Destination: Chobe National Park, Botswana
Accommodation: 2 nights of budget camping

Trip highlights

Three days in Chobe, with no change of destination

Continue your Chobe safari without changing your overnight destination. This is the trip’s full middle day, giving you room to follow the confirmed wildlife programme and spend more time observing the park. The guide can interpret the landscape and animal behaviour along the route; sightings and routes depend on the day. Ask the team to spell out the number and length of game drives and whether a river cruise is part of your package. Return to budget camping for a second night.

CAMP LIFE.
MADE CLEAR.

A little preparation makes the journey easier. We’ll help confirm the details for your dates.

Your accommodation

Two budget-camping nights are included in the published plan. The exact campsite, tent layout and facilities are not specified there. Confirm whether you share or have a private tent, what bedding is provided, bathroom facilities and the level of camp assistance. The two-night stay is an outdoor camping experience, rather than a promise of lodge amenities.

Meals & drinks

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are listed on days one and two; breakfast and lunch are listed on day three. DK’s plan also lists drinking water, non-alcoholic drinks, beer and wine. Ask how refreshments are provided and share dietary requirements before booking.
