Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park

Game Drives are tailored to the guests’ interests, but the most popular focus on this particular game drive is searching for the endangered Black Rhino. Their population on this reserve is healthy but they have a big territory in which to roam, so it is certainly not guaranteed that you will find them but there is also a good chance that you will. The black rhino found here are different from the white rhino that one finds on rhino walks in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Livingstone.

At approximately 11:30 am, the trip departs from Victoria Falls and heads to Chobe National Park. The park is located 100km west of Victoria Falls, and is home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. Accommodation is Travel lodge Kasane. After lunch, you will go on an afternoon game drive.
