Safari Pass

Take a Chobe day-trip plus one other safari activity: canoeing, elephant trail, horseback trail or walking trail and save 10%

You're going to need at least two full days free in either Zimbabwe or Zambia.  You get an automatic 10% saving if you bundle two short safari activities.

The Chobe day-trip in Botswana is an essential bit of safari fun if you're short on time in the Victoria Falls area.  It's a full day and includes a cruise up the Chobe River with lunch and a game drive back back down. Make sure that your camera's charged as the riverbanks produce good birding and a spot of "reptiling" - crocodiles are ever present.  Elephant, buffalo, giraffe and hippo are commonly seen with sable, leopard and numerous antelope regularly sighted on the game drives. The Chobe day-trip starts around 07h00 at any hotel/lodge in either Victoria Falls or Livingstone.  You'll be back in town by around 18h00. Normal price is $170 (*Park Fees excluded).  Passports and visas will be required for the Botswana crossing.

Plan your time well and choose one of the following:

The canoeing takes place along a 15km-18km stretch of the Zambezi River as it flows steadily past the Zambezi National Park on the Zimbabwean shoreline and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia. The wildlife is good and the pace is gentle.  The Victoria Falls trip runs from 07h00 to around 14h30.  The Livingstone trip runs from 08h00 to around 17h00 daily. Normal price is $125  (*Park Fees excluded).

The elephant trail is a sunrise or sunset activity.  From Victoria Falls it takes place on the Elephant Camp wilderness concession on the edge of Batoka Gorge. The Livingstone herd is located at Thorntree with access in the National Park.  The morning trail starts at 07h30 (06h30 in summer) and includes breakfast.  The afternoon trail starts at 15h30 from Victoria Falls, 14h30 from Livingstone and includes sundowners in both cases.  You'll need a full 3 hours and the ride itself is up to 2 hours long. Normal price is $130 in Zimbabwe, $150 in Zambia  (*Park Fees excluded in Zambia).

The horse trails for experienced riders from Victoria Falls last around 4 hours. These rides are conducted along the Zambezi River in the Victoria Falls National Park and in game areas adjacent to the Zambezi National Park. Normal price $100 (*Parks fees excluded). A 2 hour trail for experienced riders is available on request in Livingstone.

Walking in the bush is an outstanding opportunity to get a real sense for what's going on. Nothing else quite delivers the compelling mix of excitement, fear, vulnerability, respect and awe that walking with an armed professional guide in big game territory. Walking trails takes place from Victoria Falls Safari Lodge early in the morning or late afternoon and last around 3 hours. Normal price $60 (*Parks fees excluded). A similar trail within Mosi-oa-Tunya from Livingstone is available on request.

Your "SafariPass" will save you a guaranteed 10%.  The Chobe-day trip costs $170, just add one of the four options (canoe, elephant, horse or walk), we'll automatically deduct 10% off normal price.
