Chobe National Park

Start your day trip to Chobe National Park with pickup from your Victoria Falls hotel in Zimbabwe prior to 7 a.m. The early morning departure ensures the best opportunities for viewing big cats and other nocturnal animals during the hourlong drive to the border through Zambezi National Park. Upon arrival at Chobe National Park at roughly 8:30 a.m., embark on a game drive through the park. Your guide will help you spot native wildlife, including game cats, in their natural environment. Eat lunch at the Chobe Safari Lodge around noon, and then enjoy free time relaxing in the shade before a 3-hour boat cruise on the Chobe River. Look out for birds and other wildlife throughout the cruise, which ends with a view of the sunset over the river. Return to your Victoria Falls hotel in Zimbabwe by about 7 p.m.
