DMC in Chobe
Welcome to the park with some of Africa’s highest game densities. Known to be the ‘unspoilt safari playground’, you are sure to stumble upon wildlife wherever you go in Bostwana. The up-close and personal encounters with wildlife at Chobe National Park are one of the most awe-inspiring safari experiences, and we can guarantee you that you will have them regularly during your visit.
Cansaf has extensive experience organising programs and sending clients to Botswana, particularly Chobe. So, if you’re pressed for time there’s an option to take a day trip from Livingstone or Victoria Falls and this will include the legendary Chobe boat cruise, a full lunch buffet at the Cresta Mowana Hotel and ending off with a promised scenic game drive.
However, if you can spare a few days and do it properly, it will be a decision you will forever cherish. Groups consider spending half a day on one of our team building programmes specially customised for the area!
