Overview
Itinerary
Dates & Prices

Big game abounds on this 10 day safari that combines Chobe National Park with Hwange National Park with a highlight stay in Victoria Falls.

Both Hwange and Chobe are known for their large herds of elephant, so if you are a fan of this gentle giant like we are, both parks are a must on your safari list. Hwange is also one of the best parks for game viewing in Zambabwe. The area surrounding Linkwasha has some of the most active boreholes in Hwange, attracting large herds of plains game. With such a plentiful food source, predators are never far away, making game viewing extremely exciting.

Matched with a visit to Victoria Falls, this is an outstanding safari experience. If you have more time, why not add the Okavango Delta, Cape Town or both to this fabulous getaway.

Day 2  Johannesburg-Kasane-Chobe National Park
Take the complimentary hotel transfer back to the terminal today for your flight to Kasane (flight not included) After landing in Kasane, Botswana today, you will be met and transferred to Ngoma Safari Lodge. Perched on the edge of the valley, the views of the Chobe River and open floodplains from Ngoma are breathtaking. Chobe National Park is the second largest park in Botswana and is renowned for its large herds of elephant. You'll also find some of the more rare antelopes, like red lechwe, road and puku. Predators abound, so watch for lion, leopard and spotted hyena.

Ngoma Safari Lodge



Perched up on the edge of the valley, the view of the Chobe River and the open floodplains from the vantage of your private room and plunge pool is unrivalled in the area.

Ngoma's thatched buildings are all made from natural materials and blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Ethnic fabrics, building material and artefacts provide a local touch. The lodge is also positioned to give guests unsurpassed views over the legendary Chobe River with many opportunities to see elephants, zebra and buffalo grazing on the floodplain.

The central area of the lodge houses the reception area, lounge, dining room, bar and a plunge pool. A well-positioned viewing deck gives guests a perfect setting from which to enjoy a beautifully prepared evening meal with views over a floodlit waterhole frequented by elephants, zebra, antelope and other game.

The lodge has eight private suites, two of which have Indian day beds and may be used as triples. The suites are all luxuriously appointed and spacious, each with the following facilities: air conditioning, mini bar, overhead fan and tea and coffee making facilities.

Day 3 & 4  Chobe National Park | Meals: BLD
During your two full days in Chobe, there are a wide variety of game viewing activities to enjoy. Thanks to its location in the Chobe Forest Reserve, Ngoma is one of the few lodges in Chobe where you can enjoy a night game drive. Game viewing by water on the Chobe River is a must while you are here. A game walk is also fascinating and shows you a different side of the reserve. Chobe National Park is probably the best-known of Botswana's national parks. It was the first national park in Botswana, it is the country's second largest park and it has one of the most diverse populations of wildlife of all of Africa's parks. But it is probably Chobe's elephant population that draws the most interest and attention, as not only does Chobe host the largest concentration of elephants in Africa, but they are part of the longest surviving continuous elephant population on earth.

Nothing like a view of that magnitude to add to the flavor of drinks and lunch on Livingstone Island.

Day 8 & 9  Hwange | Meals: BLD
Two full days at Linkwash are filled with game viewing. In additional game drives in open Land Rovers, you might want to take a walking safari. Hwange was proclaimed a national park some 80 years ago and hosts one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa. The varied landscape of Hwange ensures great game viewing year-round. Large herds of elephant and buffalo dot the plains. Wildebeest, zebra and eland are abundant. And of course, with such large numbers of plains game, predators are never far behind. You may spot lion, leopard and spotted hyaena. Bird watchers will delight in Hwange�s varied bird community. Along with typical Kalahari birds like Kori bustard, crimson-breasted Shrike and red-eyed bulbul, the plains are alive with pipits, larks, coursers and capped wheatear. Raptors like martial eagle and the rare red-necked falcon are also present.

Day 8 & 9  Hwange | Meals: BLD
Two full days at Linkwash are filled with game viewing. In additional game drives in open Land Rovers, you might want to take a walking safari. Hwange was proclaimed a national park some 80 years ago and hosts one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa. The varied landscape of Hwange ensures great game viewing year-round. Large herds of elephant and buffalo dot the plains. Wildebeest, zebra and eland are abundant. And of course, with such large numbers of plains game, predators are never far behind. You may spot lion, leopard and spotted hyaena. Bird watchers will delight in Hwange�s varied bird community. Along with typical Kalahari birds like Kori bustard, crimson-breasted Shrike and red-eyed bulbul, the plains are alive with pipits, larks, coursers and capped wheatear. Raptors like martial eagle and the rare red-necked falcon are also present.
