Your driver will assist with the border crossing which is an experience in itself. Check in at the lodge and enjoy your activities as included (game drives, boating, canoeing (seasonal and water level dependent) & village visit).

Dinner and Overnight at Chobe Elephant Camp (fully inclusive of meals and activities).

Today it will be another chance to see large herds of elephants from up close and plenty other wildlife from an open safari vehicle and the river.

This property is located near the Ngoma Gate for entry to the Chobe Riverfront. Very few lodges are located on this end of the park and few people utilize this entry point, creating a more remote and exclusive experience than at the properties around Kasane. Although outside the park, this option is located in a bush setting where wildlife frequently passes through.

After a morning activity (if time allows) you will be transferred to Kasane Airport where you then meet with your pilot for your light aircraft transfer to the Khwai area.
