This is absolutely a Must Do for any visit to the Victoria Falls area. We took the day tour from Vic Falls which is broken into to parts, for us first was a boat tour, then lunch, then a land tour. Chobe Park is located on the banksof the Chobe river and has an incredible number of animals. First the boat tour which was on a pontoon boat took us around some of the islands that are uncovered during their dry season. The boat was willing to nose right up to Crocs, herds of Hippo's, buffelo's, elephants and many other species. The biodiversity of this area is incredible. The tour operators explained the species including birds we saw and got as close as possible to everytihng. We then broke for a great lunch at the Chobe Marina Lodge before embarking on a land tour that showed us many of the same animals but via land. We originally thought we would see all animals during our tour of Kruger Park and only came to Vic Falls for the water, but this tour was amaizing and introduced us to almost all of what we expected to see in Kruger. We did not see Cats, but pretty much everything else. Do not miss this experience if you are in the vicinity!
