Two Days Two Nights Chobe National Park Camping

Experience the best of Chobe National Park with this adventure-filled two day, two night safari experience. Start your adventure with a boat cruise on the Chobe River in Chobe National Park, one of the highlights of the trip as you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with fantastic birdlife, hippos, crocodiles and scores of elephant and Cape buffalo that make their way down to the river to quench their thirst. Enjoy a delicious lunch at Coffee Buzz restaurant before heading back into the park on one of our customised 4x4 game viewers for an afternoon game drive. This is the best time to see Chobe National Park’s large herbivores making their way down to the river to drink. Head to Camp shortly after sunset for dinner around the camp fire, and listen to the sounds of the bush around you as you slumber in your tent under the African sky. Wake up at dawn with a friendly Botswana “dumela” (good day), and after breakfast head off on an early morning game drive. This time of day is best for finding the big cats or wild dogs as they are still active at this time and chances of seeing them are good. Return to Camp for a delicious “bush brunch” and an opportunity to read, rest or take a refreshing shower. When the day starts to cool off another afternoon game drive follows tea, and good sightings are revisited or areas as yet unexplored are visited. Return to Camp after sunset for a reflective fireside chat with your fellow campers. Dinner follows, as always accompanied by the unforgettable sounds of the African night. On your final morning enjoy another dawn wake up and breakfast, and enjoy a final game drive as you make your way out of the park. This last drive may even prove to be the best and will, along with the others, remain etched in your memory as a truly great African experience.

• T shirts.
• Jeans or safari trousers for the cool evenings and mornings.
• A fleece or warm sweater for those early morning game drives.
• A good pair of Sunglasses.

• There will be times when you are exposed to the sun so a thin long sleeve shirt may come in handy.
• The early morning drives will be very cold in the winter months - so layers are best to keep out the chill in the back of the game drive vehicle. (June-Aug.)
