The 4 Night Victoria Falls and Chobe Safari is an ideal tour for travelers with limited time that want to see Victoria Falls and experience a Chobe safari.
The Chobe National park of northern Botswana and Victoria Falls are quite close to each other, so it just makes good sense to combine these to major Southern African attractions, and this is done by enjoying 3 nights aboard the Chobe Princess Houseboat on the Chobe River. The Chobe Princess is officially located in Namibian territory but to access the boat we take you through Botswana territory (the town of Kasane), and then you enter Namibia by boat via Impalila Island.
