Before you book

Good to know

A few practical answers. For a specific hotel or a private vehicle, use the form and we will reply on WhatsApp.
Ask about your date
01When is the best time to go?

Wildlife along the Chobe riverfront is generally at its best in the dry season, roughly May to October, when animals gather at the water. The green season brings birdlife and quieter roads. Tell us your travel month and we will say what to expect.

02What time are guests collected?

Chobe day trips from Victoria Falls and Livingstone leave at 7:00 AM. For game drives, cruises, fishing, the BOMA dinner and day trips from Kasane, we agree the pickup time with you when we reply to your enquiry.

03What should we wear and bring?

Comfortable, neutral-coloured clothing, closed shoes, a hat, sunscreen and a camera suit most outings. Add a warm layer for early starts and night drives. For cross-border days, bring your passport.

04Can children join?

Age limits and group sizes differ by experience. Tell us the ages of your children when you enquire and Mr. Kasane James will confirm what is suitable.

05What if the weather turns?

Weather and river conditions can affect what is possible on the day. Ask us about your date when you enquire, and we will tell you if anything needs to change.

06How do we pay?

Mr. Kasane James replies on WhatsApp with availability and how to pay. Nothing is charged on this website.

07Are park and visa fees included?

Not unless the experience says so. Park entry and visa fees are paid separately, and each experience lists what is and is not included.
