A great way to glimpse Botswana for the first time - We booked the Chobe day trip for a Nov 2024 tour. We were picked up promptly at 7 am by our driver, from our hotel in Zambia and driven to Botswana. Our driver was very pleasant and provided us info along the route. It was a great ride. In Botswana we started with the Chobe river tour…our guide, I forgot his name, was very knowledgeable about the river, the area, the animals. He even helped some guests find the birds we saw on the riverbank in their bird book. He was gracious, gave great instructions , and took very good care of all the passengers, maneuvering the boat so we can get a good look and capture our pics, The river cruise very scenic. We saw many animals and birds. Bring binoculars even though we saw the well enough without. We had lunch and it was a great selection buffet. We then went onto the safari part of the tour and saw all kind of animals, including elephants, giraffes and lions. Highl, highly recommend. I would do this tour again and stay overnight. Just lovely. I was glad the tour started with the river tour then the safari. The guides and drivers were very hospitable. The food at lunch, delicious What could have been done better? Well, I would do the day again without question. But I would say even though we knew what the tour entailed, a run down of the day’s activities timeline at the beginning would be helpful. Also an opportunity to buy souvenirs and take pic at the lunch stop.

A great safari with a variety of wildlife seen - I had a great experience with the chobe safari day trip. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and provided a great safari experience. Many animals were seen when we went. As someone who is new to international travel, the drivers were extremely helpful when crossing the Botswana border from Zambia and made the whole experience stress free

Great! - This is a great day trip to do from Livingstone/Victoria Falls, as you will see much more wildlife than in the national parks in the immediate vicinity of the falls. My driver picked me up promptly at 7 am and helped me quickly get through the Botswana border. Then I got into the car of the Botswanan guide with the rest of those going on the trip. We were very lucky and saw all the animals we expected to see - including a leopard. Would recommend 100%.

A very nice trip on the water and on land in Chobe National Park - This was a great full day trip. We came over by bus from Zambia, and then crossed into Namibia and Chobe National Park. We spent the first half of the day on the water and then had lunch at the park restaurant, and then went out on a Safari where we got a lot of time seeing wildlife up close. It was pretty uncrowded when we were there so we got to stop and watch the surroundings and just take it in. All in all a very good trip with excellent guides.

Great trip - It was a well organised tour which packed a lot into one day. The lunch was very good. It would have helped if the Provider had responded to calls and messages to confirm the pickup. As it was, the pickup was fine

Great experience, a must have done Safari - The trip was well organized, especially considering the many handovers you have. Everyone was there on time to pick us up for the next part. All guides and drivers were very friendly and well-informed. The Safari itself was a great experience. We've seen all the expected animals in both parts, by car and by boat. We're impressed about how they respected the animals on one side and yet managed to come closer to them as in any other Safari we did. One hint to the company. It should be mentioned that you need a multiple-entry visa for Zambia, or you have to pay for another visa when coming back. Otherwise we just can recommend the trip as well as the tour operator.

Best experience ever - Was the most amazing experience doing this trip in botswana, the trip was perfect fr start ro finish, picks up were on time the guides were very professional and very kind, if anyone wants to do this trip definitely book with this travel company

Great experience for solo, female traveler - Everything was well coordinated and well taken care of. As a solo female traveler I felt totally safe and had such a great time. Would definitely do again!

really recommended - excursion with 1 day, livingtours from Porto to Braga and Guimares simply wonderful with a MARIO guide and his driver! really recommended

Half good and half bad, overall be carefull before booking, if you can - We were unlucky to have in our group a family with a small child, who was not interested in the safari and shouted or cried the whole time. She scared the animals several times and her parents did little to control her. The tour should advertise adults only, otherwise it may spoil the experience for everyone else. Also, the guide driver in the land part looked bored and in a rush all the time, in a stark contrast with the guide who was leading the boat trip, who was excellent! We have seen a lot of animals, especially on the water drive, which was truly fulfilling (except for the cries from the little girl)
