Fancy ticking off some big hitters on your safari wishlist? In just two days you’ll take a safari cruise and 4x4 game drive through Botswana’s largest National Park, visit the mighty Victoria Falls and watch a golden Zambezi River sunset. And that’s before we mention the vast herds of elephants, buffalo and antelope that call these floodplains home.
It’s an early pick-up on day one from either Kasane town or Victoria Falls town to begin your safari experience in Botswana's Chobe National Park. As you cruise down the Chobe River, there’s every chance of seeing the park’s largest and most famous residents up close. Families of elephants are often seen drinking and playing along the banks, while hippos and crocs tolerate each other along this stretch too. After lunch, swap the waterways for dirt tracks, as your expert guide takes you on a 4x4 game drive to look for lions, buffalo and elusive leopards.
A relaxing overnight stay in Victoria Falls town means you get the most out of both days. After breakfast, you'll head to the river and hear the famous falls roar before a guided tour. Over a mile wide and straddling Zambia and Zimbabwe, you'll feel the spray on your face when they're in full flow. Walk across the historic Victoria Falls Bridge, suspended 123 metres above the Batoka Gorge, to see the falls thundering into the Zambezi River below. Dial the adrenaline down in the afternoon with a relaxing Zambezi cruise and more wildlife watching. As sunset streaks the sky with oranges and purples, it's time to wrap up your safari escape with a transfer to Victoria Falls Airport.
