Discover the Wild on a Chobe Day Trip from Livingstone

If you're visiting Livingstone, Zambia — home to the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls — there's an unforgettable wildlife experience just a short journey away: the Chobe Day Trip from Livingstone. Organized by HSM Adventures Tours and Safaris, this full-day safari into Botswana’s Chobe National Park offers one of Africa's most thrilling and convenient wildlife adventures.

Why Choose a Chobe Day Trip?

Chobe National Park in Botswana is just 90 minutes away from Livingstone and is famed for its massive elephant population, stunning landscapes, and diverse wildlife. With HSM Adventures Tours and Safaris, guests can enjoy a seamless cross-border experience, expert-guided safaris, and the chance to see Africa’s Big Five — all in one day.

This day trip is ideal for travelers based in Livingstone who want to make the most of their visit by exploring beyond Zambia without the commitment of an overnight stay.

What to Expect on Your Chobe Safari

1. Early Morning Pick-Up and Border Transfer

Your journey begins early in the morning with a hotel pick-up in Livingstone. Our experienced team at HSM Adventures Tours and Safaris ensures a smooth transfer to the Kazungula border post, where Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia meet. Our guides assist you through immigration, making the transition stress-free.

2. Morning Game Drive in Chobe National Park

After crossing into Botswana, you'll be taken straight into Chobe National Park, one of Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. The morning game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle provides opportunities to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, antelope, and a wealth of birdlife in their natural habitat.

Chobe is home to over 120,000 elephants — the largest concentration in Africa. It’s not uncommon to witness massive herds crossing roads or gathering at waterholes.

3. Buffet Lunch on the Riverfront

At midday, guests are treated to a delicious buffet lunch at a riverfront lodge, with panoramic views of the Chobe River. Relax, refresh, and recharge as you prepare for the second part of your adventure.

4. Afternoon Chobe River Cruise

The highlight for many visitors is the tranquil Chobe River cruise, offering a completely different perspective of the wildlife. Hippos, crocodiles, and elephants are frequently seen swimming or drinking at the river’s edge, while fish eagles and kingfishers patrol the skies.

A boat safari allows you to get remarkably close to animals without disturbing them. It’s also a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
