        Jerk trying to sell photos
        The flight itself was wonderful ! Well worth the price for the experience. What ruined it for me was the photo “upsell” afterwards. They bring you in a very small room without any explanation and start showing photos of your flight prep. We were taking pictures and the guy yells “ no pictures “ I said “What are we doing in here then” His response was in a very angry voice “ To watch and to buy “. I walk out That was enough to screw up the day for me

        Great to see Victoria Falls from a different perspective!
        Good experience all round. Only issue I had was that I couldn't hear the pilot when he was communicating with us. The volume knob did not work on my headset. A very professional.

        Gloriously chilled bible down a wonderful river
        One of the must do activities at Victoria Falls. You won't see much wildlife (apart from hippos, lots of hippos) but the two hours gently going up and down the river with the setting sun was one of the highlights of our trip. The drinks included were excellent - we settled on some 'old fashioned' cocktails and the food at the restaurant was very good too.

        The dinner was delicious and the river was beautiful. We saw elephants drinking and hippos in the water. The sunset was absolutely stunning.

        Very nice early evening on the Zambezi :)
        We splurged for the upper open deck! Well worth the little bit extra cost. Very slow, calm ride down the Zambezi, flanked both Zim & Zam :) Cocktails were lovely, appetizers were ok when we weren’t missed. Sailed toward sunset and saw some elephants, a crocodile and a couple of lions along the shores. Staff were polite and very courteous. Definitely the nicest boat on the river and the only one with 3 decks.

        Good View of the Falls
        Amazing views of the falls from the air. Pickup from hotel was good and processing to the flight and off was good. Only down side the cost of the video was a tad steep.

        Choose the right boat
        There are multiple companies who provide sunset cruise. The major differences are the boats each of the provider use. To Do Africa’s boat is among most luxury. It was the major reason we chose it. Their services, the drinks and snacks included were good.

        Angel of Flight
        The best view of the falls are from the air. The only bummer was we wasn't told about the $25 per person park fee added on to the ride. We took the 12 to 13 minute flight, and it was just right.

        Not our video! Could only check it out after we were home! Sad! It should have been a great memory! We were there 4/18
        The team has been unresponsive to requests for our video we paid extra for. No one we knew! Not as advertised! Beware! Sad

        Victoria Falls Helicopter ride.
        Check in was chaotic. I was separated from our group, and then forgotten. Once Tour guide got involved, I was quickly boarded with another couple as the third. From then on, cannot recommend this enough. Great views amd awesome pilot. Very smooth flight. The views are unparalleled and well worth the cost. Recommend this as a must do!!

        Victoria Falls by helicopter is unforgettable
        The transfer to and from the helicopter pad was seamless and the drivers were very friendly. The helicopter ride over Victoria Falls was the highlight of our time in Victoria Falls. I'm a waterfall chaser and have visited many, many waterfalls... seeing Victoria Falls from every angle was a dream come true. While 13 minutes may seem like a short amount of time, it was actually perfect for viewing the falls. The flight path ensures everyone gets to the see the falls from all angles. Incredible, spectacular, breathtaking... thank you mother nature and To Do Africa. One suggestion - ensure you remember the $25 /pp fee you have to pay at the launch site.

        It was the most amazing sunset that I have even seen. Enjoyed viewing the animals along the river bank and the snacks and drinks as we cruised on the Zambezi River.

      Today, I saw more elephants than people. Chobe offers quality game viewing both by vehicle and boat. It also offers intimate and upclose encounters with Africa's biggest land mamal. In addition to that, numerous herds of Impala, Cape Buffalo's, Hippos, and Giraffes. Fish Eagle, Hornbills, Egrit, Oxpecker's, Hornbills, and our favorite Southern African bird found in the city and Safari Hadeda's.

      Entering the Chobe National Park on our 0600-0900 hrs" morning safari our first sighting was a lone hyena that darted across our forest road , first time saw a hyena in the wild..Spotted elephants as usual but this time on dry ground in the forest.For birdwatcher's this would have been paradise with various species of birds flying around early in the morning. The most common bird was the Guinea fowl seen akin to chickens across the forest floor.Spotted Hippo's , Kudu but no sign of the " Big 2" carnivores of Africa, the lion or the leopard. Wild life safari is pure luck akin to a lottery irrespective of the competence of your guide or the size of your wealth or status. Sighting of rare species is pure chance.As the van moves across the forest which is on higher ground one gets a panoramic view of Sedudu Island and the wildlife existing on this island.As we were weaving along the forest track spotting elephant's , Impala's at about 0750 hrs we suddenly came across a tourist van traffic jam on the forest track.
      Ahoy ! A leopard had been sighted on a branch on top of a tree.and was hoping that when our turn for viewing arrived the leopard would still be at the same spot on this tree.When our turn came it was a sight straight out of a documentary wildlife scene seen on all those wildlife channels and wildlife nature books, a leopard sleeping on a branch of a big tree.African leopards are larger than Indian leopards and have brighter coloured spots.Finally bid goodbye to our " Big Cat Model" and headed towards the rest station of the park where all tourist van's stopped for tea and usage of the toilets.After our tea we headed back towards the starting point and passed by the leopard at 0845 hrs that was still asleep on his tree top branch bed.On our return journey came across a herd of Hippo's grazing on land near a small pond next to the Chobe river and playing with each other. First time I saw Hippo's out of water on land in the natural wild.Came across a elephant chewing on a tree stump and stopped near it just a few meters away.Spotted a pair of jackals come out in the open scaring away the Guinea fowls in the vicinity.While driving suddenly without warning a herd of elephants crossed our path about 50 meters ahead.Finally at approximately 0930 hrs our safari came to a end and all tourists were dropped at their respective lodges/ Guesthouses

      An amazing experience. We went to Pilanesburg and Chobe National Parks during our trip and both offered once in a lifetime experiences. At Chobe we saw large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo and more hippo than elsewhere. We had game drives with African Odyssey out of Chobe Marina Lodge.

      Four of us drove in a jeep with a guide. In the cool morning air we saw lots of animals despite it being dry season. The guide was great and found lots of groups of animals, including a pride of lions. There was always time for a nice photo.

      I went for a game drive at Chobe National Park on the 17th October 2020. It was a beautiful exerience. I went being driven by a love tour guide by the name MK from Lungu Safaris in Kazungula.
      I really enjoyed the service she offered, she was soo lovely and tried to explain each and everything to us. We saw different species of birds, kudus, elephants, zebras to name a few and a leopard . We couldn't see lions though.

      We had been on the Zambezi queen and did a game drive on our last day. The park has lots of water, lots of animals and some nice birdlife. We were even treated to a leopard trying to catch his food :). The staff set up a picnic lunch for us and it was such a great way to end the holiday Will be back...

      Chobe National Park is almost guaranteed to deliver, when it comes to game drives. In just a few hours we saw hundreds of elephants, zebra, springbok and hippos plus giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, kudu, lechwe etc. as well as a varied birdlife. That said - considering the exorbitant entrance fees to the park, there should be a little left over to update the signs in the park. Many have, I suspect, been used by elephants etc. to rub itchy spots, the directions on the signs are worn off and impossible to read, or the signs have been tipped over. This goes for Savuti as well. It is very easy to loose your way or end up in dead ends or heading in the wrong directions. As for the tar roads leading to the north of Botswana - they are a disgrace. The road from Sehitwa via Shakawe we named Pothole Avenue - the tar is in some places nonexistent, which is almost to be preferred to giant potholes that are almost impossible to avoid. The same goes for the Maun-Nata-Kasane road. The government of Botswana should be ashamed of not maintaining the infrastructure - but maybe the politicians are more interested in short term mining adventures with foreign investors skimming the profits and ruining the roads with heavy trucks. Botswana could learn a lot from Namibia - if you want to experience Chobe, go via Caprivi if possible. Kasane has a lot of lovely, expensive lodges, campsites and also a growing amount of private guesthouses. The town is growing, but apparently without much thought to the main source of income: Tourism. In the evening, the old centre of Kasane is practically dead, no evening life, except at the lodges and larger guesthouses. A bit of city planning would go a long way. But city planners seem to be interested solely in developing industrial areas and boring mainstream malls on the outskirts of Kasane. We lived in Botswana 30 years ago, back then Kasane was small, but lively and pleasant to visit!

      I went for game drive on the 15th July 2019. We were with such a nice and sweet guide by the name Navel from Lungu Safaris.
      We saw a lot of wild animals including a leopard and a lot of lions. I was really happy and very impressed by our tour guide. I loved it when we saw the cats.
      We saw elephants and some kids.

      The guide took his time and finding animals. I have been with other guides that just tell information that is not accurate. This guide knew accurate information and was patient and entertaining. We even had a boat picnic with tea and biscuits while watching the animals on the shore. We all felt perfectly safe. I felt this was above and beyond my expectations.
