13 Days Victoria Falls, Chobe and Kruger Park Experience

Transfer to Kazungula border, take a ferry across the border to Botswana and transfer to Chobe National Park, one of the most densely populated game parks in the world, offering the ultimate African experience and excellent game viewing. It is Botswana’s third largest national park and known as one of the best natural wildlife and wilderness areas in the country. The diversity of habitat sustains a wide variety of animals including the water-loving hippos and crocodiles as well as predators such as lions, leopards and cheetahs and its spectacular elephant population. Over 70 000 elephants roam in the area, making it the largest continuing surviving elephant population on earth. Late afternoon visits to the water's edge offer hours of fascinating viewing and photo opportunities. Herds of buffalo can also be seen.

Included in the tour is a Chobe River Boat Cruise and an early morning or late afternoon Game Drive on an open 4x4 vehicle, both excellent activities for viewing the best wildlife on the Chobe river banks.

The idyllic Letaba Rest Camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger National Park.
