ABOUT 8-Days Victoria Falls to Okavango Budget Tour Safari

Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta is one of the best safari tours. The Okavango Delta is one of the world’s largest inland water systems. Its headwaters start in Angola’s western highlands, with numerous tributaries joining to form the Cubango River. It then flows through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enters Botswana, where it is called the Okavango. Millions of years ago, the Okavango River used to flow into a large inland lake called Lake Makgadikgadi (now Makgadikgadi Pans).

Day 03: Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park

>> Game Drives are tailored to the guests’ interests, but the most popular focus on this particular game drive is searching for the endangered Black Rhino. Their population on this reserve is healthy but they have a big territory in which to roam, so it is certainly not guaranteed that you will find them but there is also a good chance that you will. The black rhino found here are different from the white rhino that one finds on rhino walks in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Livingstone.

At approximately 11:30 am, the trip departs from Victoria Falls and heads to Chobe National Park.
