WONDERFULOOOOOOOO - We stayed 2 days at Chobe Bush Lodge thus having the opportunity to do both boat safaris on two different days and also the one with Jeeps.
I would say there is no boat comparison all life!!!!!
Also because you can get much closer to animals and you really see an infinite amount of them.
I have to say that from one day to the next a lot really changes, since animals rightly move.
On the first day many buffalo, crocodiles, various types of birds and not only naturally.
The second day elephants to never end, hippos, giraffes.
Incredible sunset, unique experience.
As for the safari with the Jeep I must say that it was extremely uncomfortable, not cushioned enough so it broke our back a bit......
Animals seen not very close, but this is also a thing to do.
Jackal puppy too funny. Lion a little in the distance, giraffes, elephants, two very nice owls, eagles, warthogs, baboons etc.

Chobe national Park by the river and by land a Must see - This national park is one of the 5 best rated in Africa because it allows us to sail near animals , it is absolutely necessary to take the package that accumulates 3 hours of park and 3 hours on the water of the river where all animals come to drink

Amazing tour and amazing experience - We only had a short amount of time in Victoria falls region, so we went with Simon and Africa Beast Safaris to visit Chobe National Park for a day trip. Simon was incredible and he made it incredibly easy and enjoyable to cross over to Botswana and experience both a land tour via an open air 4x4 and also a boat tour on the Chobe river. All of our guides on both of those excursions were amazing.
On the 4x4 tour we saw lions, lots of antelope, lots of elephants, water buffalo and more.
The boat tour was what our family enjoyed the most. It was incredible getting up close and personal with hippos, giant crocs, elephants, birds and buffalo. We would highly recommend this tour.
Plus lunch was amazing!

Excellent day trip to Chobe from Vic Falls - I carefully researched tours and tour companies before booking a day trip for my family from Zimbabwe to Botswana for the Chobe day trip. It's a lot of money for the day and I feel like Africa Beast was the best company of them all. It seems like most of the companies offer the same day trip including transportation to the park, a game drive, meal at a lodge, a boat ride through Chobe river and then transport back to the hotel/lodge you started from. The main thing I noticed is that many tours cost a bit more, and then you have fees to enter the park on top of your tour fees. Africa Beast had all park fees included and beat the other guides prices. We even had the owner of the company transport us personally to the game driver at the Botswana border. We then easily went through the day with our guide DC, we saw lots of animals, but we saw lion for the first time, and 3 of them at that. We live in South Africa for 3 months of every year and have been on countless drives but this is the first time to see lion in the bush! We also saw cape buffalo, elephant, hippo, Crocs, kudu, impala, monkeys, baboons, birds and more. We learned that the rhino have been removed from the park due to poaching, but the rest of the big 5 can potentially be seen. No sign of any leopard during our day time drive, but what an absolute delight so see a lioness and 2 males! The lodge that Simon arranged for our lunch was absolutely beautiful and the lunch was very nice. Be advised that the lodge provides food with the tour, but not beverages. There is a little gift shop so I was able to get some earrings as a souvenir from that country, and after eating we just sat in an outdoor lounge and soaked in the view of the river. From the lodge we departed for the river ride portion of the tour. DC got us up close again to Crocs, hippo, buffalo, and elephant. He also explained how we were in an international waterway with Botswana on one side and Namibia on the other. On our way back to the lodge he pointed out a Namibian fisherman padding standing up in a canoe. The only other thing to note aside from paying for beverages is that a $10 US tip per person is suggested for your game driver.
It was good to know ahead of time what the appropriate amount was for DC. Overall, it was a fantastic day that Simon organized and was well worth the price for the experience we will never forget. Don't hesitate to book with Africa Beast Safari!

For an Amazing Safari/African experience book with Simon of Africa Beast Safari! - By accident we came upon Africa Beast Safari while we were in a world cruise in early April this year (2024) as we wanted to go overland for safari and tour Victoria Falls. Simon, who runs Africa Beast Safari is incredible! Simon responded to our inquiry promptly and professionally and we booked for six days...Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and Hwange National Park. Simon took care of EVERYTHING...our transfers, hotels, guides, safaris, boat cruises, helicopter ride, Boma dinner and an awesome traditional village tour.
One we booked our tour with Simon he arranged ALL the details. Every guide was on time and very professional. We always felt safe and we absolutely had a BLAST! Our accommodations were so amazing and the food excellent! Way beyond our expectations! We saw so many animals and felt that we had truly immersed ourselves into this beautiful country. Simon even took us to dinner and we had the privilege of really getting to know this amazing man...he is now our friend for life. If you are looking for a great experience with no worries Simon is your man! We highly recommend Africa Beast Safari!

A rich day trip - The trip was very interesting, Chobe national park is impressive, even in super dry conditions. Plenty of elephants and kudu antelopes. The organisers could do better in time management. We left Victoria falls around 7pm, then on border had to change vehicles, take more people, there was a lot of waiting involved. In the end, our afternoon boat trip had to be shortened. So a message to organisers: leave early and have all cars ready and instructions clear on how much time visitors spend where.
