Chobe's Wild Heart: Unforgettable Safari from Vic Falls

Amazing day, just what a safari day should be like. Our guide was amazing. In the afternoon our boat safari was also amazing, sadly the weather came in but not before we got to see most things.

The tour was amazing, the pick up was on time, and the border process was smooth. The game drive was excellent, got close to elephants and lions. The buffet lunch was really good. The boat ride was good, saw some crocs, hippos and elephants. The bonus was that the park entrance was included, unlike some companies that charge extra.

You see a lot of animals in the park (elephants, giraffes, antilopes, impalas, monkeys, birds, crocodiles, hippos, buffels and we see also lions). The distance to the animals, also lions is sometimes only 2 meters. We see imore then 200 elephants in our trip. The guieds a very nice. Yo will be pick uo at hotel and go first to the border. There you change guide and car and drive with an ooen car, maximum 9 person (we were 7) through the park, after you ger a good lunch buffet in a correct 4-stars hotel and after you make a boat trip with about 25 people in boat. The best think was that my three year old son can come with me free of charge. Thank you for that.

This was a brilliant day out to Chobe. We were so lucky to see a pride of lions and then elephants crossing the river right in front of us whilst we were on the boat in the afternoon. Nicholas was a brilliant guide who went out of his way to get us the fantastic sightings. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Cool experience, however, lots of other tourists in the park with us, annoying to cross the border from Zimbabwe (multiple steps and lines at the border, waste of time). Guides were great, knowledgeable, and saw everything, even a lion stalking some impala. For a more desolate, rugged, people-less experience, try Hwange.

The game drive was fabulous, with a very experienced ranger to guide the group. The game cruise on the ferry was relaxing and also offered good viewing of wildlife.

This was very well organized from the pick up from my hotel, to sorting out the logistics at the border to then switching over onto the Botswana side and back. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable and we were able to see a bunch of animals especially the main event the Elephants and the lions! I definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about going on this trip. We did a road and boat safari with a lunch in middle. I had a great time!

After searching many sites to try to put together a visit to Victoria Falls that included visiting the falls and doing a safari in Chobe NP, I became frustrated and finally found Maxwell Tours. From the beginning Max was great to work with. He listened to all of my wants and put together an incredible package that exceeded our expectations. Not only did we visit Victoria Falls & Chobe NP, but we also enjoyed a helicopter tour over the falls, a wonderful sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River and so much more…from the airport pickup and drop off by Phillip, we were cared for like family. Thank you Max & Phillip for making our trip to Victoria Falls unforgettable.

Well organized from start to finish. Great wat to see the areas wildlife in one day. Good balance between land based game drive and boat safari.

The driver to and from the Botswana border was very nice and interesting, as was the driver in the bush of the National Park. Due to the weather, he had to work hard to find the big 4 (no rhinos left in the park due to poaching…what a shame), but he was successful. We switched to the river safari, and our guide put us on many crocs, hippos, elephants, and Cape buffalo. The highlight was a “territorial” dispute between two hippos. Low lite? The buffet at a beautiful safari hotel was disappointing, but inexpensive.
