A great day out. We went from Vic Falls :- pick up was on time , the travel through immigration into Botswana went smoothly.
Morning was a jeep game drive , afternoon on the Chobe River.
The nation park is full animals and was great to see the elephants playing in the water.
Having both the land game drive AND the boat drive was a great experience. Highly recommended! (We were lucky to see a leopard .)
The Chobe day trip was a great experience. The tour was well organized with the pickup/drop off and border crossing. The tour guide was excited to provide the best possible experience. We were able to see multiple lions, giraffes, gazelle, elephants, buffalo and hippo’s. The boat trip was a relaxing end to the day.
The experience was all around amazing. Everything operated very smoothly from the hotel pick up, to the border crossing, and getting into the park, and around to seeing the wildlife. The safari jeep was open air and could seat 8 people so it was a small group. The boat portion in the afternoon was really worth it as it allows us to see the animals in and around the water where a vehicle couldn’t reach.
Amazing! Well worth the all day trip. If you want a close up encounter with elephants in the wild, this is your tour…
This day tour was e great experience, the drivers were friendly, guides were good, we have no complaints..
Overall it was a good day. The game drive was awesome and the Buffett lunch was filling. Transfers to Botswana were easy. The only down side was the boat got stuck in mud for an hour. We never really got to finish our boat safari because we waited so long to be rescued from being stuck in the mud. I think they still should have drive us down the river more or refunded part of the experience because we missed a lot of the boat safari.
An absolutely fabulous day! Hotel pick up, one hour drive to Botswana border with help from the guides to get you through immigration which is fairly quick and then 1/2 day land tour - excellent lunch at a beautiful lodge Mowana - and then 1/2 day on water. From pick up to drop off roughly 11 hours. Of course it’s the animals that make the safari and they really showed up for us today we saw soooooo much loads of giraffe elephants crocodiles on and on ✨ special thx to the crew Philip Walter and Chopta you guys rocked the day and our time with you tyssm :) side note: pls have the necessary visa to enter Botswana or else it holds up the entire group while they process you on site 👍🏻
Good quality experience (which will depend upon which safari driver and boat guide that you get). Road to Chobe had alot of potholes, but our transfer driver did his best to avoid most of them. Buffet lunch was good but not gormet. All in all, a good day trip with not border problems for those with the proper KAZA visa.
The tour is wonderful. The hotel pick up is on time and the transitions at the borders are very smooth. The tour guides/drivers are friendly and helpful. We saw a lot of animals in Chobe. Both the boat cruise and the safari game drive are fantastic. It is a relaxing worry-free tour to encounter many African animals, like the elephants, the hippos, the crocdiles, the lion and etc.
Great experience. Picked up on time by Phillip who was an excellent driver. The game drive was fantastic. These things can be hit and miss, but we managed to see lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocodiles among many others.
The afternoon boat safari was great as well. Saw hippos and elephants.
Lunch was at a lovely hotel on the water and food was good. You just had to pay for your drinks.
Water/soft drinks provided throughout the day on the drives/boat.
Tepe was our game driver and she made sure we got to see as much as possible.
Would highly recommend this trip.
What an awesome experience. The tour is well planned and you get to truly enjoy the experience. The lunch was super nice, the lunch venue awasome.
Our guides were very pleasant and knowledgeable, the cruise safari was a new and fun experience, it was nice to see river animals up close. We were truly well taken care of.
I had an amazing trip to Chobe with this tour. They were exteemely professional and punctual. I texted them on Whatsapp beforehand to confirm the pickup place and they responded super quickly and were available for all the questions i had. The trip itself is super nice - they drive you to the border for 1h, then you transfer to a jeep for the Chobe safari, afterwards we had an amazing buffer lunch (much better than what i expected - amazing food and fancy lodge) and the last part was a Chobe river cruise with a knowledgble guide. I was here in March and saw some great animal sightings - giraffe, elephant, impalas, kudu, crocodile, hippo, buffalo.
Amazing, my guide was amazing, she didn’t follow other guides and took us to see most animals first.. we completed the big five!
A really amazing day and the lunch was such a great surprise, thank you again
Amazing day, just what a safari day should be like. Our guide was amazing.
In the afternoon our boat safari was also amazing, sadly the weather came in but not before we got to see most things.
The tour was amazing, the pick up was on time, and the border process was smooth. The game drive was excellent, got close to elephants and lions. The buffet lunch was really good. The boat ride was good, saw some crocs, hippos and elephants. The bonus was that the park entrance was included, unlike some companies that charge extra.
You see a lot of animals in the park (elephants, giraffes, antilopes, impalas, monkeys, birds, crocodiles, hippos, buffels and we see also lions). The distance to the animals, also lions is sometimes only 2 meters. We see imore then 200 elephants in our trip.
The guieds a very nice. Yo will be pick uo at hotel and go first to the border. There you change guide and car and drive with an ooen car, maximum 9 person (we were 7) through the park, after you ger a good lunch buffet in a correct 4-stars hotel and after you make a boat trip with about 25 people in boat.
The best think was that my three year old son can come with me free of charge.
Thank you for that.

Hi Victor
Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate you for choosing our services, we are happy that you enjoyed your day with us.

This was a brilliant day out to Chobe. We were so lucky to see a pride of lions and then elephants crossing the river right in front of us whilst we were on the boat in the afternoon. Nicholas was a brilliant guide who went out of his way to get us the fantastic sightings. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Cool experience, however, lots of other tourists in the park with us, annoying to cross the border from Zimbabwe (multiple steps and lines at the border, waste of time). Guides were great, knowledgeable, and saw everything, even a lion stalking some impala. For a more desolate, rugged, people-less experience, try Hwange.
The game drive was fabulous, with a very experienced ranger to guide the group. The game cruise on the ferry was relaxing and also offered good viewing of wildlife.
This was very well organized from the pick up from my hotel, to sorting out the logistics at the border to then switching over onto the Botswana side and back. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable and we were able to see a bunch of animals especially the main event the Elephants and the lions! I definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about going on this trip. We did a road and boat safari with a lunch in middle. I had a great time!

Wow – thank you so much Tanaka for your wonderful review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a smooth and memorable experience on your Chobe Full Day Trip. From the hotel pickup to the seamless border transition and, of course, the incredible wildlife sightings – it sounds like you had the kind of day we always hope our guests will enjoy!
Seeing elephants and lions in their natural habitat is truly something special, and we're so glad you got to experience that magic. Our guides are passionate about what they do, and it’s great to hear their knowledge and friendliness made your day even better.
The combination of road and boat safari, plus a relaxing lunch in between, really gives you the best of both worlds – and we’re so happy it hit the mark for you!
Thanks again for recommending us – it means the world. We hope to welcome you (or your friends and family!) back for another unforgettable adventure soon.
Warm regards,
Well organized from start to finish. Great wat to see the areas wildlife in one day. Good balance between land based game drive and boat safari.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review! We're so happy to hear you found the Chobe Full Day Trip well organized from start to finish — that’s exactly what we aim for!
It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the balance between the land-based game drive and the boat safari. Experiencing Chobe’s incredible wildlife from both perspectives in one day really makes for a unique and unforgettable adventure.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to see you (or your friends and family!) on another journey with us soon.
Warm regards,
The driver to and from the Botswana border was very nice and interesting, as was the driver in the bush of the National Park. Due to the weather, he had to work hard to find the big 4 (no rhinos left in the park due to poaching…what a shame), but he was successful. We switched to the river safari, and our guide put us on many crocs, hippos, elephants, and Cape buffalo. The highlight was a “territorial” dispute between two hippos. Low lite? The buffet at a beautiful safari hotel was disappointing, but inexpensive.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your one-day safari with us and that both your land and river guides made the experience memorable — even going the extra mile to help you spot the Big 4 in less-than-ideal weather conditions. That hippo encounter sounds intense and unforgettable — nature at its most raw and real!
We also appreciate your honest feedback about the buffet. While we're glad the setting impressed, we’re sorry the food didn’t quite meet expectations. We'll definitely pass this along to our partners at the lodge — every bit of feedback helps us improve.
Thanks again for choosing our Chobe Full Day Trip. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more wild and wonderful experiences!
We traveled as a party of 6, with 2 small children 1 (almost 2) and 4, two seniors and 2 adults.
This experience was absolutely incredible. Worth every cent. First off our driver to pick us up and drop us back off was on time courteous and a safe driver. He stopped for any wildlife that we saw. And we saw plenty. He also had cold bottled water ready for us which was a blessing because it was so hot!
The border crossings were easy. We were guided by someone the entire time. Then V our Safari guide picked us up. He was amazing. Professional, on time. Very knowledgeable. We got to see so many amazing animals. But the highlights were lions hanging out by a elephant they had killed, A herd of elephants playing in the mud and even a large pack of wild dogs. In all the these cases V was able to get us up close and personal with these incredible creatures.
Afterwards V dropped us off at the Baobab tree lodge and we enjoyed a buffet style lunch. Drinks including water were not included. So just expect an extra expense. Around $3 US per drink.
After that we were guided to our river cruise. We were able to see more elephants. multiple herds of elephants, hippos, Crocodiles, amazing birds and a rare antelope i forgot the name of. The boat guide was also very knowledgeable.
I was so impressed by the level of professionalism with every person we encountered on this tour.
Do not hesitate, just book it. You won't regret it.

We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Chobe Full Day Trip was such a memorable experience for your whole group — from the little ones to the seniors. It’s always our goal to make every moment seamless, safe, and unforgettable, and it means the world to know we delivered that for you.
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to our amazing team — especially your driver and the legendary V! His passion for wildlife and dedication to creating special moments really shines, and we're so glad you got to witness such rare and powerful scenes — lions at a kill, elephants playing in the mud, and even wild dogs… what a day!
We also appreciate you highlighting the small but important details — like cold water on a hot day, smooth border crossings, and knowledgeable guides throughout. And thank you for the heads-up for future guests about the drink costs at lunch — it’s great advice for first-time visitors.
Your words truly capture the spirit of what we hope every guest experiences with us. Thank you again for trusting us with your adventure — and for encouraging others to take the leap. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable moments in the wild!
Warmest regards,
The driver service was great, We saw some beautiful wild animals up close and from afar. My only complaint is it's hot and water promised should be delivered and not only to the guide himself but passengers too.

Very well organized, good lunch, Great guides (Tsami and Frank), friendly driver (Phillip), and the animals were incredible. Totally enjoyed it.

Thank you once again for choosing us — we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
Warm regards,
We loved the experience but our game driver (Theme (?)) did not engage with us much and eventually I asked her if she could stop if we came across elephants so that we could get some photos - most of us on the truck felt this way.
By comparison our boat drive in the afternoon with Frans was an enriching experiencing because he fully engaged, pointing out different birds and giving us interesting info on the animals. He was very patient and went as close to the animals as he could turning the boat so that all of us could get good photos.
Lunch was also good.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Chobe Full Day Trip from Victoria Falls.
We’re so glad to hear that you loved the overall experience and enjoyed the incredible wildlife, a delicious lunch, and especially the enriching boat safari with Frans. He’ll be delighted to know that his efforts to make the experience informative and photo-friendly were so appreciated!
We’re also grateful for your honest comments regarding the morning game drive. We aim to provide engaging and interactive experiences throughout the day, and it's clear that in this instance, we fell short of that goal. Your feedback has been shared with our guiding team, including Theme, as a valuable reminder of how important communication and guest engagement are to the overall experience. We’re committed to continuous improvement and will use this as an opportunity to ensure all guides are consistently delivering the high standard we strive for.
Thank you again for choosing to explore Chobe with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon — one that’s even more memorable from start to finish.
Warm regards,
Well organised, good lunch, saw lots of
animals on safari and boat trip. A very good day out. However, a slightly later start ie. Pick up at 7am would be helpful to fit in breakfast

Thank you so much for your kind review and for joining us on the Chobe Full Day Trip from Victoria Falls!
We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day out — from the well-organized schedule and good lunch to the abundance of wildlife spotted on both the game drive and boat safari. It’s always rewarding to know our guests had a memorable experience.
We also appreciate your suggestion about a slightly later pickup time to allow for breakfast. While the early start helps us make the most of the day in Chobe, we understand how important it is to begin the day comfortably. We'll review this internally and explore ways to better accommodate early morning needs, such as coordinating with hotels or offering a light breakfast option.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Warm regards,
My visit to the Chobe was a highlight but I would recommend going with another tour operator. For the game drive in the morning, they combined an English-speaking group and Spanish-speaking group. Not all fit in the truck, so one customer had to ride in the cab of the truck. I felt bad for her since she couldn’t hear the guide nor have a genuine safari experience. The translation into Spanish was also subpar and often unintelligible. For the river cruise in the afternoon, they had seven people on a rather large and clunky barge-type boat that was too large to get close to shore, struggled to move through the water, and even broke down at one point.
Chobe National Park is incredible and you’re bound to see loads of animals, regardless of the tour company, but all the services the tour company was in control of were very disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Chobe National Park — it’s indeed a spectacular destination, and we're happy it was a highlight of your trip.
We would, however, like to clarify a few points regarding your experience:
Our Chobe Full Day Trip is an English-speaking group tour, as clearly stated in the tour description. For guests requiring tours in other languages, we strongly recommend booking a private tour, which allows us to provide dedicated guides for translation and a more personalized experience. We regret that the translation you overheard did not meet expectations, but it’s important to note that this was not a service officially offered or charged for.
Regarding the seating arrangement, the guest who sat in the front cab of the vehicle was informed in advance, and in fact, we often receive specific requests from clients who prefer to sit at the front for comfort or better views — even when seats are available in the back.
While we’re truly sorry that this tour did not meet all of your expectations, we'd like to highlight that the same tour you joined has received numerous 5-star reviews from other guests who were very satisfied with both the game drive and river cruise. We understand that experiences can vary between individuals, and we take all feedback seriously as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.
Lastly, we want to assure you and future guests that we are a legitimate and reputable company, dedicated to providing memorable and safe safari experiences. We value transparency and customer satisfaction, and we’ll continue to work hard to meet — and exceed — expectations.
Thank you again, and we wish you many more wonderful travel adventures ahead.
Warm regards
Everything worked out well. Pick-up was on time. After arriving at the border it took a while for everyone to be processed. We saw lots of animals including a lion, giraffes, elephants, impala and kudu. A very nice buffet lunch at a river lodge and a fantastic boat tour along the Chobe River.
