The Game Drive into Chobe National Park will start at 6:30am. Your driver will be a professional guide with extensive knowledge on the park and its inhabitants. The park is especially known for its massive elephant population, huge array of bird species and big cats such as lion and leopard. You will discover some of the parks distinct ecosystems with dense woodland, extensive savannahs and rolling grasslands while travelling along the Caprivi flood plains. As this is a private game drive you can ask your guide to tailor your trip towards specific birdlife or wildlife if you like. After the game drive lunch will be served at a hotel on the riverbank before getting on a boat for the Chobe River Cruise. This will give you ample opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous river scenery and extraordinarily close views of lots of animals, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles and birdlife. Relax and enjoy the complimentary drinks while gliding along the Chobe River as the sun sets.

It was a very good, very informative experience. Trevor taught us a lot about the city and nature, he is a very pleasant and very professional guide. He knew how to share with us his love for nature and his village. The segway visit allows you to take your time and make a really interesting and quiet visit. Do not hesitate to plan this pleasant activity.

Had a great trip on the mokoro with a local guide called Elijah arranged through Kalahari Breeze. Great communication and planning from Chris and team to help us prepare (eg timings, what to bring etc). Was about 1 hour drive from the hotel to the village. At the village we were met by Elijah to go on the mokoro. On the way out (upstream) the mokoro ride was about 1.5 hours with a few hippo sightings along the way. It’s completely exposed so make sure bring sunscreen / long sleeves! Once we arrived at the island we did a walking safari / hike for about 3 hours. It was quite long in the brutal heat but well worth it as Elijah was able to show us elephants, giraffe and wildebeest - all from afar but still much more than we were expecting. We then had a quick lunch prepared by Chris and team and set off back to the village on the mokoro. The way back was quicker as downstream and just as well after a long day. We got back by about 3:30pm. Overall a great day out and way to experience the Okavango delta. Highly recommend!

Get the best of both worlds in open 4x4s game drive vehicles and by boat. This is a unique opportunity to experience some of the best game viewing in Africa close up. Chobe is known for scores of large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink —most notably buffalo and elephant. On the islands, puku and lechwe are often seen and on the banks kudu, impala and water buck are common.

From the minute we emailed the communication was smooth and the expertise shown by Linda our tour planner at Jibha Africa Safaris, our expectations went so high. Everything was perfect. The tour itself surpassed our expectations. Our guide Harris and everyone we came into contact with was just fantastic. A dream come true. We will be back.

My mother and I visited Victoria Falls recently and spent 6 days there. During our stay most of our activities were arranged by Afro Dawn Safari's. Isabella and Paul were very helpful and always made sure we had everything we needed. We went for a beautiful game drive, followed by an amazing dinner in the private reserve. We also visited an elephant sanctuary, and got to interact with the elephants. Finally we ended our trip with a sunset cruise and dinner on the Zambezi. All of these activities including transport were arranged by the team. We had such a lovely time and would recommend Afro Dawn Safaris to any fellow travellers.

A warm driver will meet you at the hotel reception at 0730 hours for a day of fun, excitement, adventure and creating valuable memories at one of the greatest game parks on the African continent, the magical Chobe National Park in Botswana. It takes about an hour to drive to the park from Victoria Falls town. The magic begins with Guided game drive which lasts between 3 - 4 hours, and you’ll be able to relax as you keep your eyes looking at Africa’s beautiful creatures including the famous Big Five game animals. After the game drive, we will stop for a delicious lunch, before embarking on an afternoon Chobe boat cruise. During the cruise, we will sail elegantly and graciously, simultaneously enjoying spectacular river scenery and unbelievable close views of animals such as the giraffes, antelopes, hippos, and crocodiles, as well as a variety of wild birds. Expect a journey that excels in location and excites with its special animal experiences.

The private guided walk with Simon was very informative and very great. Not only is he a private guide, he is also a good photographer. He has a very good work ethic which speaks volumes about his integrity. He was very punctual and came informed about everything we will need on our tour and also to get access to the park. He went further to check on our well-being, our knowledge of the area and even suggested the best activities in order for us to have the best experience. I felt like I was there when Victoria falls was discovered and named because of how much I learned through Simon. I have to admit he really does know the place. Most importantly I felt safe having a guide who knew the limits. Thank you Simon!

The 13 of February, we had a fantastic guide by the name of Conrry (Jack-Sparrow), he did a great job of properly briefing us before we took off, he was amazing during the rafting tour. He is a perfect match for the job and we all felt safe the entire tour.
