Amazing Family Safari in Botswana August 2022 : Part 2 : Chobe and Victoria Falls


Friday 19 August to Monday 22 August : Day 3 to 6
It's a 3 hour journey to Kasane from Elephant Sands. 
We always like to stay at Chobe Safari Lodge. 
A sunset cruise on the Chobe River should be on your bucket list! You must do private boat cruises on the Chobe; don't book through the hotel. 
I recommend Mandela for all your cruises, fishing trips and excursions. +267 72 817 000 or kgowetravel@gmail.com.
A day trip into Chobe NP is a must.  We were lucky to see this lioness and her 3 subadult cubs on the banks of the river. 
Game is plentiful along the river.
These guys are part of the Serondella pride.
A jaffle picnic next to the river. 
End the day with GnTs.
Many people opt to do Victoria Falls from Kasane. I suggest using Mandela for these arrangements too, as it makes the border crossing into Zim hassle free. 
Nick and Kerry did a guided day trip to the falls with a helicopter flip too.
The Greenfield clan spent the night at the colonial Victoria Falls Hotel and a day of White Water Rafting on the Zambezi.
We hung out at the hotel in Kasane and went fishing for Tigerfish.
The buffet dinners at the hotel get boring but there aren't a lot of good restaurants in Kasane. Try The Old House or stock up on cheese and wine at the Spar and have your own party in the room.
