Quick facts
Trip breakdown
Flow
We scoop you up from your lodge, run a quick 5–10-minute hype briefing, then cruise for 55 minutes through Chamabondo and Zambezi National Parks to the border. Eyes peeled, wildlife sightings might just steal the spotlight before you even arrive.
Border formalities done, adventure mode on. We switch to a safari vehicle and roll toward Chobe National Park Gate, where your expert guide sets the tone with a quick briefing, rules, routes, and the wild encounters waiting just beyond the gates.
Welcome to the wild playground of Chobe! The riverfront steals the spotlight, with elephants ruling the stage, bathing, crossing, and flexing in massive herds, especially in the dry season. Buffaloes roam in epic numbers, often with lions lurking like the ultimate paparazzi. Keep your eyes peeled for leopards, spotted hyenas, and the occasional elusive cheetah, while plains game like sable and roan antelope, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, kudu, impala, and warthogs strut their stuff like they own the runway. The river steals scenes too, hippos lounge like royalty, Nile crocodiles lurk with sly smiles, and every boat safari promises jaw-dropping, photo-worthy action. Chobe isn’t just a park; it’s a full-on wildlife extravaganza!
Pause the adventure in style with a Chobe riverside lunch! Dive into a buffet of fresh regional and international flavors while elephants, hippos, and cheeky birds steal the show along the banks. Shaded seating, killer views, and safari vibes make this break anything but ordinary.
The Chobe River cruise is a signature safari experience offering a unique water-based perspective of Chobe National Park’s abundant wildlife. Gliding along the river, guests enjoy close-range sightings of elephants swimming between islands, hippos wallowing in pods, and Nile crocodiles basking along the banks. The cruise provides exceptional photographic opportunities, particularly in the late afternoon when animals gather at the water’s edge and birdlife becomes more active. Led by experienced guides, the Chobe cruise delivers a relaxed yet immersive encounter with Botswana’s iconic riverfront ecosystem.
Following the Chobe River cruise, guests disembark and begin the return transfer to Victoria Falls. Formalities at the Botswana–Zimbabwe border are handled with assistance, ensuring a smooth and efficient crossing. Upon arrival in Victoria Falls town, guests are met by a local driver and transferred directly to their respective hotel or lodge. The hotel drop-off marks the conclusion of the Chobe excursion, with guests arriving at their accommodation comfortably and in good time, allowing the evening at leisure.
Before you go
February has maximum water flow: The falls are at their most powerful with incredible spray (the "smoke that thunders"). Views may be obscured by mist, but the experience is dramatic. Temperatures are warm (25-30°C) with occasional rain.
It depends: Zimbabwe has more viewpoints and better overall views. Zambia offers unique experiences like Devil's Pool and closer waterfall access. Most visitors recommend seeing both sides if possible. Zimbabwe is better for first-time visitors wanting comprehensive views.
The jump platform is on the Victoria Falls Bridge, which stands 128 meters above the Zambezi River. The actual jump is 111 meters from platform to water surface. It's operated by AJ Hackett, one of the world's most experienced bungee operators.
Packages usually include: Accommodation, airport transfers, some meals, guided tours of the falls, and selected activities. Prices range from $500-$3000+ per person for 3-7 nights. Some include safaris to nearby parks like Chobe or Hwange.
The gorge was formed over millions of years as the Zambezi River eroded through basalt rock. The falls have moved upstream approximately 8 km through a series of seven gorges, each representing a previous waterfall position. This process continues today.
