Livingstone And Botswana Trip

Safari summary

2-Day Adventure: Livingstone & Chobe National Park
Discover the raw beauty of Zambia’s Victoria Falls and Botswana’s iconic Chobe National Park in a whirlwind yet immersive two-day getaway.

Day 1: Livingstone’s Natural & Cultural Jewels

Morning: Unveiling Victoria Falls
Begin your journey with the ultimate spectacle: Victoria Falls. Nicknamed Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”) by the local Kololo people, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is awe-inspiring. Walk the Victoria Falls Rainforest Trail with a local guide to learn about the falls’ geological history and unique flora. Admire the Devil’s Pool (a natural infinity pool on the edge of the falls during the dry season) and snap photos of the iconic Knife-Edge Bridge.

Afternoon: Zambezi Serenity
Head to the Zambezi River for a sunrise breakfast cruise aboard the historic Zambezi Star. Glide beneath the Victoria Falls Bridge while sipping coffee and enjoying local delicacies. Keep an eye out for crocodiles, hippos, and eagles. Afterward, explore Livingstone town at lunch—a great chance to sample Zambian classics like nshima and roasted goat or shop for handcrafted textiles at the marketplace.

Day 2: Chobe National Park Wildlife Safari

Morning: Cross-Border Canopy & Safari
After an early breakfast, embark on a 2.5-hour drive to Botswana’s Chobe National Park. Cross the border into Kasane via Kazungula or the Chirundu Ferry (a tour guide will handle permits and paperwork). En route, pass through lush miombo woodlands and the Caprivi Strip. Upon arrival, dive into a 2.5-hour game drive in Chobe’s northern sectors. Spot elephants in herds of up to 500, Cape buffalo, red lechwe, and predators like lions and hyenas.

Afternoon: Riverine Magic
Post-lunch, join a Chobe River cruise as the Zambezi River merges with the Chobe River. As the sun sets, witness elephants, hippos, and vervet monkeys cooling off at the water’s edge. Keep your camera ready for a possible sighting of the elusive sitatunga or a fishing eagle dive. Opt for a guided walking tour if you prefer exploring on foot.

Evening: Back to Livingstone
Return to Zambia by late afternoon. Reflect on your day with a drink at a local watering hole in Livingstone or head home with a heart full of wilderness memories.
