Itinerary

Kasane, Botswana

Tucked away in the northeastern corner of Botswana, on the banks of the famous Chobe River, the scenic little town of Kasane rests on the doorstep of the spectacular Chobe National Park. There are no boundary fences separating the village from the park and game such as elephant and hippo are often spotted roaming around the town. If on the lookout for elusive game, pay a visit to the Sedudu Valley Road, where large dead trees provide temporary homes for leopards. Within Kasane, an ancient baobab tree stands on display, once serving as a local prison. Visitors can look forward to a multitude of activities including: enjoying a game drive through the park, taking a sunset cruise down the Chobe River, visiting a local village or jumping on a day trip to the breathtaking Victoria Falls.

Kubu Lodge

Day 1 - 4

Kubu Lodge is a small, owner managed lodge with eleven raised, thatched chalets. Comfortable and tastefully decorated, each chalet is fitted with ceiling fans, tea/coffee facilities, hairdryer, fridge and private bathrooms. Guests can enjoy dining in the onsite restaurant, where a delightful fusion of traditional African cuisine with a European flair is served against the stunning backdrop of the Chobe River. The bar and adjoining cocktail deck is an ideal place to sip cocktails whilst basking in the glow of an African sunset. Additional amenities include a swimming pool, reading lounge, souvenir shop, and free Wi-Fi. The lodge also has a private campground with plunge pool and ablution facilities. Each campsite has its own barbecue and fire pit. The world renown Chobe National Park is a short drive away and guests can explore the park's famous wildlife diversity by open-top safari vehicle or motorboat. A mix of local activities are offered as well as a memorable day trip to the Natural Wonder of Victoria Falls in nearby Zimbabwe.

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), Zimbabwe

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya—“The Smoke That Thunders”—Victoria Falls is one of the world’s great natural landmarks. Straddling the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe, it forms a vast curtain of water that fills the air with mist and sound. The Zimbabwean side grants the most dramatic views, where mist rises like ghostly curtains and rainbows arc through the spray. Measuring about 1,708 metres across, it is regarded as the largest single continuous sheet of falling water on Earth. The adjacent town of Victoria Falls provides a convenient base for exploring the region, with a wide range of activities from scenic flights and microlight trips to white-water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, and safaris into Chobe National Park.
