Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear on a Chobe game drive?

Wear comfortable, practical clothing suitable for outdoor conditions.

We recommend:

  • Comfortable trousers or shorts
  • A light shirt or T-shirt
  • Comfortable closed shoes
  • A hat or cap
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • A light jacket for cooler mornings
  • Neutral or natural-coloured clothing where possible

Bring enough water and protect yourself from the sun.

Can you pick us up from our hotel?

Yes, hotel pickup can be arranged depending on your accommodation and the safari package you book.

Please provide your hotel or lodge name when booking so we can confirm the pickup arrangements.

Where does the Chobe game drive start?

Our Chobe game drives generally operate from the Kasane area, with the exact meeting or pickup point confirmed when you make your booking.

If you are staying at a hotel, lodge or other accommodation in the Kasane area, please provide the name of your accommodation when requesting a quote.

How long is a Chobe game drive?

The exact duration depends on the game-drive option and package you book. We can provide the confirmed start time and expected duration when making your booking.

For guests looking for a longer wildlife experience, we can also discuss combining activities or arranging a multi-day safari.

Can I combine a game drive with a boat cruise?

Yes. A Chobe game drive can be combined with a Chobe River boat cruise, making it possible to experience Chobe from both land and water.

This is one of the most popular ways to experience the area because the two activities provide different perspectives of the wildlife and landscape.

You can ask us about combining:

🚙 Chobe Game Drive + 🛥️ Chobe River Cruise

We can help you choose an arrangement based on your available time.

What happens if it rains?

Safari activities can operate in changing weather conditions, but this depends on the conditions and safety of the day.

Rain can also change wildlife behaviour and road conditions. If weather conditions make an activity unsafe or impractical, arrangements may need to be adjusted.

Your safety comes first.

Is the safari private or shared?

This depends on the package you select.

We can discuss private or shared safari arrangements according to availability, group size and your travel requirements.

If you want your group to have the vehicle and experience arranged specifically for you, tell us when requesting your quotation.

Can children join a Chobe game drive?

Children can join a Chobe game drive, but suitability can depend on the child's age, the safari arrangement and the specific rules or conditions applying to the activity.

When booking, please tell us the ages of all children travelling with you. We can then advise you on the most suitable option.
