Defintely do a Chobe river sunset tour. It’s worth it! - An animal filled sunset tour. We saw many elephants, crocodiles, Cape buffalo, antilope and giraffe. Also excellent for bird spotters. Our guide, AK, was very knowledgeable on all wildlife we saw, which gave the experience further depth. Would 100% recommend to do this activity while staying in Kasane.

Spectacular sunset - Spectacular view of the sunset over the river with animal silhouettes , about 3 hours of navigation with return almost in the dark .

Booked again for tonight! - Operator showed up on time and took us to the boat area where we boarded and set off. Cold water was provided as were life jackets. Our guided was knowledgeable and responsive to everyone and their questions. He kept us safe and worked hard to show us elephants/hippos/crocodiles/various bird species/impalas/water iguana and more. The sunset alone was worth the money. We are so happy for having taken this cruise. In fact, we are taking it again tonight!! Highly recommend.

Elephants plus! - Elephants and the abundance of wildlife. It was very relaxing and the sunset was glorious. We also enjoyed it from the perspective of the water. Hippos and buffaloes put on a good show too!

Yes - Wow, lots of animals and birds and great guide. Exceed our expectations. Highly recommended. Great price too.

Great experience, highly recommended - Very friendly and knowledgable guide who had an answer to every question we had about local animals and culture. Small boat with only 9 of us offering great viewing experience, much better than on bigger boat with large rows of people. Highly recommended

Elephant photography on the Chobe river - I did 4 boat trips on the Chobe river in September 2023, and had some amazing experiences, especially seeing elephants swim across the river at sunset. This October (including a drought) I was hoping for more of the same, but better. Unfortunately the 40 degree temperatures drove elephants down to the river earlier, so by 3pm most had already left, and there was no food left on the islands to entice them to stay longer. So very disappointing for photography. My lodge gave me a budget boat trip of P300 + P150 entrance fee for SADC members. Unfortunately the boat was extremely croweded, and most people boozed a lot so they were extremely loud and disruptive. Had the same experience last year too. How to avoid this? I don't know! Maybe pay more for a more sophisticated environment?

Difficult communication,... - Difficult communication, late pickup, no water on a 3 hour trip at 39 C degrees, max group size was advertised as 10, but there where 16 people on the boat. Do not book...

Disappointing Experience - We had been on two other sunset cruises recently that were wonderful. This was a dreadful experience. We were 10 people jammed onto a small, dirty boat. No legroom, no space to maneuver. Small boat was rocked by the waves of virtually all the other cruise boats. We boarded the boat at 3 pm and were taken for registration at the entrance to the Chobe National Park. We eventually left there at 3.40pm. While we sat waiting for our "Captain" to complete the formalities, at least 4 other boats who arrived to do registration after us, completed their formalities and left on their cruises. No explanation for our 20 minute delay was given. We were told we would be offered soft drinks and water on the cruise. Nothing was offered at all. At the end of the trip our "Captain" happily advised us that we were welcome to thank him for the trip (presumably hinting for a tip). ADVICE - ask to see a picture of the boat you will be travelling on before you book and part with your money. This scruffy little boat with torn chair covers would not receive a booking if people saw if before booking.
