Once in a lifetime experience ! - The tour was just PERFECTION. From the land Safari to the boat tour I’m confident to say it was one of the most memorable experiences if my life. Mateo (Jeep guide) and Large (boat guide) made this experience 10000 more incredible taking us super close to the animals and making us feel so special.

Our day in Chobe National Park. - Chobe National Park stole my heart years ago and it still holds the most special part. Nature our guide in the park was awesome and we even saw the elusive leopard. Large our guide on the river was also great and as he knew we were bird fans he stopped for so many different species.

Incredible experience despite the chaos - Chobe National Park was one of the most incredible places I’ve visited! We saw hundreds of elephants and dozens of other animals including a pride of lionesses up close. Lunch was included and was surprisingly good and the boat tour was a nice relaxing way to spend the other half of the day watching hippos and more elephants. The whole area is just so stunning and filled with wildlife. However, this tour definitely is one of those large tour groups that sometimes can feel disorganized and impersonal. You get picked up by a separate driver that will then hand you off to another driver at the border. At the end of the tour, we were shuttled from the lodge where you have lunch and the boat tour back to the border. This process was a bit chaotic as the instructions were unclear and everyone was confused on which vehicle to get on. The border crossing into Botswana took two hours (which the guides did say was unusually long) but we were picked up from our hotel in Livingstone at 6:30am and didn’t begin the safari drive until 10:00am. However I did appreciate the guides making a strong effort to expedite the process and they ended up pulling us out of the line to a dedicated line for tourists going to a safari. The safari drive itself felt rushed. If it wasn’t for us and the other people in the group we would’ve missed so many animal sightings because the driver was zooming until we pointed out that we saw animals nearby. Despite that, it was still a great experience because of how there was so much wildlife everywhere. You look left and right at any given minute and there was something to see. The highlight was this large meadow that you drive down to and you can see herds of elephants as far as the eyes can see. Despite the chaos, I still recommend this tour. The guides were friendly and tried their best to make the experience good. Understandably for this price point, you won’t get too much of a personalized experience so keep that in mind. Again, the national park is teeming with wildlife and is a must do.

Fun and memorable. - The weather was the beginning of the rainy season so animals were difficult to find. The guides were great and entertaining and pointed out what was available. The boat trip was wonderful with lots of hippos and water fowl.
