Excellent Day Trip - Excellent experience on this extended safari day it is definitely worth choosing this one as a longer day means you get to the park earlier and have more chance of seeing all the animals before the day gets too hot! The drivers and guides were super and the lunch included was at a 5star resort it was amazing!

Memorable Chobe day trip - The entire trip was wonderful: the game drive, lunch and river cruise were incredible. We saw a lot of animals, even though at this time of year they are more spread out because the rains have fallen. Our drivers and tour guides were punctual and professional. I recommend this trip!

One of a kind experience - We saw a lion and a bunch of other animals. Getting very close to some of them from the boat this felt like an amazing magical experience. Highly recommend. Also, the staff is excellent and very kind

Super day! - Had a great day with Ledge our main guide, boat driver, spotter and all round great guide. Webster and Owen were great making all the arrangements. Tips: 1. It’s very cold first thing in the morning on the back of an open safari 4WD, so be prepared and rug up. 2. Book with DK direct at their office in Vic Falls. Credit: DK also supports local communities.

This trip exceeded our... - This trip exceeded our wildest expectations. We hit a bit of bad weather BUT we saw much more than expected and our guides were committed to our having the best time ever . They seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did. This was a memorable day from beginning to end.

Must do Chobe - this tour could be better. - Chobe national park is a must do. Very different scenery from other parks but animals and birds are plentiful. This tour was a mixed bag. Transport from Victoria falls to border was comfortable in a mini van including a bagged breakfast. Tick Entering Botswana we were collected in an open safari jeep to travel 20 minutes to the park entrance. The jeep was old and lacked suspension and definitely not appropriate for open road travel. Very uncomfortable. On entering the park our guide at times was excellent, at other times poor. He did prioritise and found a leopard. Tick. At other times he raced passed photo opportunities of animals and lookouts over the river for no apparent reason (often passing other jeeps that had stopped). Occasionally we were able to get his attentuon but it was hard to communicate in the style of jeep. Disappointing. (Other jeeps in the park were different design and newer). Lunch was a buffet - good was fine without being exceptional. River safari (not a cruise) in a small boat was the highlight. Large was a great guide and captain. He menouved the boat understanding the best position and light for photos (including a very nice sunset where he positioned with three trees in the foreground). Big tick. In summary - the jeep needs retiring, the guide needs more understanding of his clients requirements. Chobe us a must but maybe there are better tour options.

Amazing! - Chobe National Park was great, seen a lot of animals. Tour guide was great, both on land and on the river. The only major disappointment was in the middle of the day, when they drop you off for lunch, after the land part and before the river part, there is a three hour break. They advertise it as a 15 hour excursion but you only are getting 12 hours realistically. That is kind of misleading. Other than that, it was a great excursion.

Great day at Chobe - It was a LONG day but worth it. I was surprised that we were handed off to different tour operators throughout the day. It sounds like DK Tours does a great job matching up the tour date you want with the people who are available to lead it, and I was really happy to be supporting different (very) small businesses, rather than one big fancy tour operator. I just wish it had been a little more clear up front. Our guides gave us clear instructions to walk through the Zimbabwe-Botswana border, so that experience was incredibly efficient and low stress. We happened to be on the game drive solo and saw tons of big animals at Chobe (including, in a stroke of luck, a leopard!) and many charismatic birds (lilac-breasted roller, kori bustard, and water thick-knee). There were other people on the boat tour, which was really nice--we met people from all over the world. Seeing elephants, crocodiles and hippos close by from the water was really special. I took off one star for the unexpected 1-hr gap after lunchtime, where everyone else went on their boat tour and we were left waiting for ours. We'd eaten, and there was no where to go, so we just had to sit at a (VERY nice) conference center waiting for our pick-up. I'm guessing we just got unlucky with the available timing, but I wish I'd had a heads up.

An ok experience - Smooth pick up from hotel at 5am and transfer at border Ranger could have been a little more engaging but seemed knowledgable and managed to locate a number of species on the game drive An acceptable lunch in nice surroundings River tour commenced from a run down area and boat was old it serviceable. Seen some animals from different viewpoint but overly long Not as professionally presented as some other similar experiences

Incredibly overpriced and the experience is sub par to other competitors!! - This was a painful experience. Bottom line up front, there are cheaper alternatives to this company. It felt like paying for champagne and receiving water. Pickup time at our hotel was scheduled for 5:00am. We had to message them at 5:30am and ask when they would be there. Showed up significantly late. The transport from there involved picking up multiple additional parties. We were offloaded at the Botswana border to an open air truck and traveled 20 minutes in freezing cold exposed temps and wind chill to Chobe. There should have been a fully enclosed vehicle between sites to prevent the exposure. The open air truck company they subcontract to is sub-par. They clearly found the cheapest contractor. The truck is 1980's old and not up to par with other vehicles in the park. At the lunch buffet you are intermingled with dozens of other tour companies at a golf course. The lunch buffet is OK slash good. Not great...but OK. Then all the other tour companies will depart the lunch area to go back on safari. We did not. We waited for 2 hours after lunch. Sitting..doing nothing, waiting. There is nothing to do at this location as it is a hotel. Remote and not near anything. There are 2 hours wasted doing nothing. Completely voids the point of getting up at 4am for this excursion. Other tours are out touring/safari during this time frame and then they do a boat trip. The trip we were on makes us wait doing nothing for hours after lunch. They eventually picked us up and took us miles away to a boat dock. The boat that they booked was broken. The transmission in the boat was broken so the top speed was around 4-5 mph up and down the river. Other boats sped past. Ours was limited to barely moving. Again, it appears that they work with the cheapest available subcontractors and pocket the maximum that they possibly can. Additionally we were added to other groups in the boat so they maximize the total seats in the broken boat. It was not a great experience for us. We felt that it was vastly overpriced and were left severely disappointed at the end. If it had cost half the price that we paid, we felt that it would have been too much for what we received.
