Excellent experience - It was an excellent experience! Our guide Mwangelwa, whom we affectionately nicknamed Miguel, was an excellent professional throughout the journey. Inside the part you can see a large number of animals, and having the experience of safari with the boat allows you to see even more animals in their respective habitats. I super recommend this tour!

Great trip! - Great trip! Our guides were helpful. We saw so many animals, and had close up encounters with many. Both the boat tour and the game drive were exciting, and lunch was good as well.
Be aware that if you don't bring water with you, you will have to pay for your beverages at lunch.

Not just the land animals, but a safari that includes from the water view! - This safari was unique as we were in the safari vehicle 1/2 day with Jinx, our tour guide, enjoyed a great lunch at Mowana lodge and then on to the safari with "Barker" (or his name could have been Parker). It was awesome to see it all from the water - the crocs, hippos, birds, elephants, monitor lizards, African buffalo, etc. A fabulous afternoon to finish up a great day of animals.

One day in Chobe National Park - We were picked up from Maramba River Lodge, Livingstone on time with an hour car journey to the border crossing. Once immigration was done and a coffee break, we were taken to Chobe National Park for the first activity. Two hours of safari drive went quickly with sightings of lions, giraffes, kudos, elephants and lots of hippos & bird life by the River.
We had the delicious buffet lunch in Cresta Mowana Resort, followed by the boat trip on River Chobe. The most memorable part was the baby and mother elephants swam across the fast flowing river and the herd landed successfully on the green pasture. It was such an exciting experience with lots of Instagram worthy photos!
The return journey was slightly complicated with a short ride in a bus and safari vehicle, transferred to the immigration point and then back to hotel by six o'clock.
We enjoyed our day to Chobe National Park and will return to Botswana for longer trip in future.

Wonderful educational experience - Top experience had! Many different animal species seen, breathtaking views, friendly and attentive guides who give a lot of explanation and make sure you have the opportunity to take the time to take enough pictures. Also got delicious lunch on the way in a beautiful lodge. Really recommended 👌

Disorganized - Chobe is a nice park, but the trip was organized poorly, no communication before the tour. After the pick up and crossing the boarder, we were dropped at the lodge and not Tod what to do!!! We were wondering around and asking for help. We were waiting for a long time for somebody to take us on safari. Very short time in the park, lunch, boat.

Disappointing. - Disappointing. Three hours travel from hotel pick up to the lodge in Chobe! Very large group so always waiting around for everyone to arrive. Staff were nice but seriously, 11 hour tour of which 6 was transport and immigration. We should have insisted on booking a more private/intimate tour.
