Highlights

    • Watch in awe as a herd of 40 elephants strolls by on the banks of the Chobe, just meters from your tender boat
    • Try your hand at fishing for Tiger and Bream, watching for approaching wildlife between casts
    • Listen for the call of the coppery-tailed coucal and chirping cisticola, just two of the 400+ bird species that call the Chobe home
    • Experience the gentle nature of rural Africa on a visit to a riverside village, where we'll meet the locals and browse a beautiful selection of handmade crafts
    • Settle in beneath a star-studded sky as the ZQ’s generator shuts down (LED and reading lights available), offering a welcome quiet to the end of an exhilarating day
