The Experience

The day starts with a game drive through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in an open vehicle where you watch for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and birds. The park holds animals not always seen in nearby Chobe, and the open sides of the vehicle let you turn and look without obstruction. After roughly the first hour and a half of driving, the guide brings you to a picnic spot overlooking the Zambezi River.

Light snacks and bottled water arrive at the riverside, and you eat with the river in view before the walking portion begins. This short walk on foot takes you to see white rhinos — the rare animals that are the centerpiece of the trip. The combination of driving and walking means you should wear closed hiking shoes rather than sandals; the operator notes all fitness levels are welcome for this pace.

The tour aims to stay private and personalized, though the operator reserves the right to combine groups if needed. Pickup is included in the price. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and children from age 8 can join. The minimum is two travelers; solo bookings are not available for this tour.
