If you've come all the way, we recommend a camping safari! I'm sure you'll have unforgettable memories. - It may seem a little expensive, but it's worth it!!
First of all, he drove me from his hotel in Victoria falls town to Chobe National Park, and the driver was a very nice person and comfortable on the way.
First breakfast at the safari Guide's office and cafe.
We saw crocodiles and hippos on the boat cruise! I came all the way to Chobe, where the boat cruise is located, for a safari and I was right~!
After lunch, we were so excited to see so many elephants, giraffes, baby lions, zebras and even leopards on the afternoon game drive!!
It was quite a long time, five hours, but it was a lot to see.
After all, safari Guide are Pro. They also find animals that they would not be able to find on their own. 笑
They answered a lot of questions and it was fun.
We arrived at the camping site around 7pm and had dinner.
At the campsite, you can enjoy freshly prepared food prepared by the chef on the spot with wine.
After dinner, we had the luxury of sitting around the campfire chatting and gazing at the perfect starry sky.
There was no bed in the tent, but I could sleep comfortably with a thin mattress.
It was a thrilling night, feeling the sound of lions in the middle of the night and the presence of elephants in the vicinity.
The toilets I was worried about were two behind the tent, so they were fuzzy toilets.
When I'm done, I put sand on it, so it doesn't smell, but there are flies. (笑)
There is also one bathroom break during the safari game drive. It's a public toilet kind of place.
On the second day, we had breakfast, game drive,
Come back to the campsite at 11:00, have lunch,
Wait until 14:30.
You can take a temporary shower at this time.
It was a bit hard because this time was hot.
I'm glad I brought cold pita...
Then, while driving the game, they head back towards Victoria falls town, and so on.
On the way home, he gave me a beef pie and mandarin oranges for a snack.
The rice, which I honestly didn't expect at all, was all delicious.
There was good balance between the food in the office and cafe, the food in the camp, and the vegetables, and it tasted gentle and good.
If you're in Victoria falls town, I'd recommend a tour Guide here!
I feel safe because my boss's uncle is a nice guy with a kind smile.
(I'm not a spinner. lol

Unforgettable Experience - Definitely a lifetime experience! Great hospitality, great guides, unforgettable experience. I highly recommended this tour to everyone visiting Victoria Falls. We saw lions, hippos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and many more during this two day tour in few meters distances.
Even tough camping is not the most comfortable accommodation option, it definitely worths the experience.

Once in a lifetime safari experience - Absolutely unforgettable safari experience with DK Tours! We enjoyed a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all the staff at DK Tours were professional and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We had so much fun on the 2-day safari to Chobe that we decided to do another game drive with DK Tours the following day to see the rhinos in Victoria Falls. Cannot recommend this company highly enough!

Unforgettable Safari - The game drive was exhilarating! I appreciated the thoroughness and the hard work the guide and assistant both put in to make the experience a very memorable one. Definitely unforgettable. Saw just about everything advertised except the Leopard, which can be an elusive animal. We did detect what the guide thought were Leopard tracks. Camping was exciting and a great way to see the animals that appear early in the morning and in the evening. Camping is probably the best way to see the most animals! The guide and assistant very friendly, polite, and helpful. This tour is highly recommended!

Great Experience! - DK tours and safaris is a professional and reliable tour company. As I was searching through internet looking for tours which included camping in the park, there were not many tour companies that accepted single travelers. Even if I found companies that accepted single travelers, most of them were so slow in replying messages and some of them couldn’t even get my name right in the response. DK was one of the rare companies that responded in a short period of time and had my name right. Communication went smoothly which was an A+ since my booking was at last minute.
After I arrived in Vic Falls, I was picked up at my hotel next day in the morning at my accommodation. Webster who’s a tour consultant at the company came right on time and smoothly transferred me to the boarder. I was passed on to my guide, Vincent, for the safari there.
After entering Botswana, I first went for a 3 hour boat cruise. This was a great opportunity to see animals like crocodiles, hippos, buffalos, birds, elephants and iguanas. The guide for this boat cruise was Jack and he found animals for me that I could never had been able to find on my own and he would give me enjoyable information about the animals. He also helped me take pictures of myself with animals in the background which is kind a hard when you’re a single traveler. After the tour I was escorted to a restaurant near by for lunch. Here I had a chance to try some Botswana cuisine which I enjoyed. Lunch was included in the tour but you have to pay for the drinks(please note that you need Botswana currency here). After lunch Vincent the guide picked me up at the restaurant and started the journey to the Chobe National Park. My tour guide Vincent was just great. He was very knowledgeable about the animals in the park, he knew every path in the park, he stopped the car for me to take pictures or even turn the car for different angles and he was very pleasant to talk with. I saw many animals at the park such as elephants, buffalos, antelopes, baboons, warthogs, beautiful birds, giraffes, hippos and more!(tere were so many that I can’t even remember)
When the sun set, we moved to the camping area. The tent and dinner table was already set up. The food at the camp was good(which was spaghetti Bolognese, Greek Salad and dessert) and the bed in the tent was comfortable. When the sun went down and it was completely dark, the stars in the sky was breath taking, and it was a great experience sleeping to the cries of the hippos and crickets.
In the morning we went for another game drive. The advantage of staying overnight in the park is being able to wake up early and encounter the predators. I was able to see a striped jackal and a lion! This made me so happy since watching a lion was the main purpose of flying hundreds of miles and changing plains twice. After the morning game drive I had a continental breakfast and proceeded with the game drive for more animals.
The tour ended around 14:00. I wanted to buy some post cards and Vincent was kind enough to take me to a souvenir shop on the way back to the boarder!
Chobe Safari Park is a great place to visit if you like animals and nature. If you’re actually considering going, I strongly recommend you to let DK tours and safaris guide your way. They will provide you an amazing experience and you will make so many good memories that you can take home and share with your families and friends.
