Day 1: Transfer to Chobe National Park
At 07:30, you will be transferred from your respective hotel / lodge to Kasane, Botswana and escorted through immigration formalities. A short briefing will follow on some pertinent facts such as safety and some regional information. At 09:30, you will board the boat and commence a 3-hour boat cruise into the Chobe National Park.
The river cruise is considered one of the highlights of the trip since you will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the fantastic birdlife, hippos, crocodiles, and elephants, and Cape buffalos that will make their way down to the river to quench their thirst. The boat cruise ends at the Coffee Buzz restaurant at 12:30. You will then depart on an afternoon game drive. This is the best time to see Chobe’s large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink.

Day 2: Chobe National Park
You will be woken up at dawn with warm water being poured into the basins and a friendly Botswana's “dumela” (good day). After a quick cup of tea or coffee and a light continental breakfast, you will head off on an early morning game drive. This time of day is best for finding the big cats or the rare wild dogs as they are still active at this time and chances of seeing them are good. At around mid to late morning, you will return to the camp for a delicious “bush brunch” and a siesta in which you will have an opportunity to read rest or take a refreshing shower.
When the day starts to cool off, another afternoon game drive follows. Chobe National Park has a wide variety of game, the cats and large herbivores such as elephants and buffalos are the highlight. However, rarer game such as pukus, elands, sables, and Roan antelopes along with many more common antelopes can be viewed here. Dinner follows which will, as always, be accompanied by the unforgettable sounds of the African night.
