This safari gives you a taste of Botswana if you are limited by time. Our two day one night safari in Chobe will show you enough to be make this a trip of a lifetime, but be warned enough that you will want to come back again and again!
Day one
08h30: Guests are met at Kazungula by their guide and are escorted through Immigration formalities. There is an opportunity to do any last minute shopping in Kasane, as there are no shops within the Park. Tea, coffee and muffins are provided and short briefing will follow on some pertinent facts such as safety, and some regional information. At 09h30 guests board the boat and commence a 3 hour boat cruise into the Chobe National park. The river cruise is considered one of the highlights of the trip, as one gets the opportunity to get up close and personal with fantastic birdlife, hippos, crocodiles, and of course scores of elephant and Cape buffalo that make their way down to the river to quench their thirst. The boat cruise ends at the Kalahari offices at 12h30 where your Safari guide will be waiting to do a game drive after lunch. This is the best time to see Chobe’s large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink.
Return to camp shortly after sunset for drinks around the camp fire and dinner
Day two
Guests are woken at dawn with warm water being poured into their basins and a friendly Botswana “dumela” (good day). After a quick cup of tea or coffee and a light breakfast, you head off on an early morning game drive. This time of day is best for finding the big cats as they are still active at this time and chances of seeing them are good. Around mid to late morning guests return to camp for a delicious “bush brunch” and an opportunity to take a refreshing shower. After packing up, you then leave the camp on your last afternoon activity, to be dropped off in Kasane/Kazungula at 16:30.
General information
We will be camping in the Chobe National Park in Exclusive Wilderness sites ie HATAB or BOGA sites, with no other campers nearby. If the sites are fully booked we will be forced to use the public site at Ihaha this is very rare though there is also the option of Senyati Safari Camp in Lesoma Valley.
We attempt to work two departures weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.
All trips will be run by skilled, licensed professional guides.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask your agent.
If you are interested in longer tailor-made Safaris through the parks please ask your agent.
What to pack for your tented Safari.
Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year, dull neutral Colours are most suitable.

What to pack for your tented Safari.
Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year, dull neutral Colours are most suitable.
The most practical items for Safari are:
- T-shirts.
- Jeans or safari trousers for the cool evenings and mornings.
- A fleece or warm sweater for those early morning game drives.
- A good pair of sunglasses.
- Sun block, a hat and insect repellent are essential!
- Binoculars and a camera with lots of film! For digital ensure batteries are charged - there is no electricity in the bush (we can charge via the cigarette lighter, 12V).
- A headlamp or torch is vital.
- If you enjoy a whisky or the like, you are welcome to bring a bottle along.
- A towel, and your own toiletries (ladies please remember there are no shops for emergencies)
- Any medication if necessary, we do have a medical aid box with the basics.
- There will be times when you are exposed to the sun so a thin long sleeve shirt may come in handy.
- The early morning drives will be very cold in the winter months -so layers are best to keep out the chill in the back of the game drive vehicle (June, July, August).
- Please attempt to travel as light as possible - space is always an issue on safari.
- Last but not least, a sense of humour - this is Africa!!
