Chobe Overnight Safari

About the Adventure

For travelers seeking an immersive wildlife experience beyond a day trip, the Chobe Overnight Camping Safari offers an extended adventure in Botswana's renowned Chobe National Park. This 2-day, 1-night safari provides more time for game viewing, a night under Botswana's spectacular starscape, and the opportunity to experience the Chobe River at the optimal light of day. Guests will enjoy multiple game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, exploring diverse landscapes from floodplains to savanna in search of lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and the park's famous elephant herds. A highlight is the Chobe River cruise, offering close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife, with elephants and buffalo frequently seen drinking and bathing. Camps, while not luxurious, are perfectly comfortable, featuring pre-erected canvas safari tents with mattresses and duvets. Dinner is prepared and served around a campfire, allowing guests to fall asleep to the sounds of the African bush. The extra time on safari is invaluable, allowing for early-morning and late-afternoon drives when animals are most active, maximizing wildlife encounters in this biologically diverse park, home to Africa's largest concentration of elephants and over 450 bird species.
