Arrival Day
Upon arrival you will have some time to settle into your new accommodation for the next couple of days. Sunset Dinner Zambezi river cruise This is really a great way to experience the magnificent Zambezi River. Lush riverine vegetation, prolific birdlife and abundant game. There is the chance of spotting hippos, crocs, many species of birdlife, as well as lots of other game including elephants which, in some seasons, cross the river to feed on the islands. As you experience an unforgettable sunset over the river you will be served with snacks and drinks all included in the price. Once the sun has gone and the magic charm of the evening settles over the river the lanterns are lit and a wonderful three course dinner will be served. The unforgettable noise of the hippos in the back ground makes for an unusual backdrop to this truly African experience. There are now a few different cruises that do this spectacular ride on the Zambezi, each of them unique in their boats and food that they serve. The common things with each of the cruises is that transfers, drinks and light dinner is included in the price, and you can drink as much as you like.

Chobe National Park is in northern Botswana near the vast, inland Okavango Delta. It's known for its large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo, which converge along the Chobe Riverfront in the dry months. Lions, antelopes and hippos inhabit the woods and lagoons around Linyanti Marsh. The floodable grasslands of the Savuti Marsh attract numerous bird species, plus migrating zebras. Chobe Game Drives are offered in custom built 4×4 safari vehicles. These vehicles have open sides which offers exceptional views for the guests. All game drives are conducted by qualified guides all registered with the Botswana guiding council. The local experience and knowledge offer a great insight to animals and their behaviour. Morning game drive aprox. 3 hours. The afternoon is spent at leisure at the lodge. It is one of the greatest game reserves in southern Africa and famous for the number of elephant that live there. The Chobe River flows lazily through the Caprivi flood plains and provides a haven for huge herds of buffalo and elephant, zebra, wildebeest and impala which are followed closely by predators including lion, hyena, the elusive leopard and the odd pack of the now rare wild dog. The bird life in particular is exceptional. This afternoon enjoy a game cruise on the Chobe River to spot wildlife and the abundant birdlife in this region.
