Chobe's Wild Heart: Full-Day River & Land Safari Adventure

We booked all our activities through Cherish Travel for our holiday in Zambia, August 2025 which included a trip to Chobe, fishing on the Zambezi, steam train, devils pool, horse riding and Mukuni boma. The team were very professional, polite and punctual. We highly recommend them and can honestly say we couldn’t have had a better tour operator. Well done guys and please keep it up.

Great trip! Our guides were helpful. We saw so many animals, and had close up encounters with many. Both the boat tour and the game drive were exciting, and lunch was good as well. Be aware that if you don't bring water with you, you will have to pay for your beverages at lunch.

Disappointing. Three hours travel from hotel pick up to the lodge in Chobe! Very large group so always waiting around for everyone to arrive. Staff were nice but seriously, 11 hour tour of which 6 was transport and immigration. We should have insisted on booking a more private/intimate tour.

This safari was unique as we were in the safari vehicle 1/2 day with Jinx, our tour guide, enjoyed a great lunch at Mowana lodge and then on to the safari with "Barker" (or his name could have been Parker). It was awesome to see it all from the water - the crocs, hippos, birds, elephants, monitor lizards, African buffalo, etc. A fabulous afternoon to finish up a great day of animals.

We were picked up from Maramba River Lodge, Livingstone on time with an hour car journey to the border crossing. Once immigration was done and a coffee break, we were taken to Chobe National Park for the first activity. Two hours of safari drive went quickly with sightings of lions, giraffes, kudos, elephants and lots of hippos & bird life by the River. We had the delicious buffet lunch in Cresta Mowana Resort, followed by the boat trip on River Chobe. The most memorable part was the baby and mother elephants swam across the fast flowing river and the herd landed successfully on the green pasture. It was such an exciting experience with lots of Instagram worthy photos! The return journey was slightly complicated with a short ride in a bus and safari vehicle, transferred to the immigration point and then back to hotel by six o'clock.   We enjoyed our day to Chobe National Park and will return to Botswana for longer trip in future.

Chobe is a nice park, but the trip was organized poorly, no communication before the tour. After the pick up and crossing the boarder, we were dropped at the lodge and not Tod what to do!!! We were wondering around and asking for help. We were waiting for a long time for somebody to take us on safari. Very short time in the park, lunch, boat.

Excellent team who went above and beyond to ensure we made the most amazing memories. A fantastic day. Saw so many elephants, lions and a leopard.

everything from start to finish was amazing. We were lucky to have some some rare game sightings. The guides were all great engaging and fun. We had pretty high expectations, but everything exceeded these. Thanks all.

My family used Cherish for many tours, Chobe day trip, Victoria Falls - Zambia and Zimbabwe, Zambia morning safari and Rhino Walk, Microlight flight, and airport transfers. We enjoyed all of trips! They are always on time, their driver's and vehicles are safe. If you need a trip into town to pickup souvenirs, snacks, or beers, they can help transport you. Easy to contact locally using WhatsApp. We really enjoyed using the trip leaders Mwangelwa and Jonas. They were really helpful and full of knowledge.
